| Can't accept whatever a Muslim does, whatever a Muslim thinks maybe due to her attitude and understanding about Islam. A Muslim like LP may want to help her sick mom, or send her mom to the hospital and she can't accept it because he is being a Muslim? Probably she hates the religion (not only can't accept Islam).

| Here is an extract from an article from today’s London Times. The religious leaders in Saudi Arabia seem to think this is perfectly acceptable. An eight-year-old girl in Saudi Arabia has won a divorce from her 50-year-old husband at the third attempt. The girl, who has not been named and who has been living with her mother in the city of Onaiza, was given to the older man in marriage by her father to pay off a debt. Neither his wife nor the child were told that the marriage had taken place. A previous judge, Sheikh Habib al-Habib, refused twice to annul the marriage but said that he would look again at the case when the child reached puberty. He had also imposed a condition that the marriage should not be consummated until the girl reached puberty. The case was dismissed because the judge said that the girl’s mother did not have the right to file for divorce on her behalf. Abdullah al-Jeteli, the lawyer for the girl, said that he had reached an out-of-court settlement enabling the divorce to go ahead. The case has reopened the debate in Saudi Arabia on whether a minimum age for marriage should be introduced. After the first two petitions failed, the Saudi newspaper columnist Amal al-Zahid wrote: “The trafficking of child brides — a most reactionary practice that takes us back to the days of concubines [and] slave girls” should be outlawed. She added that the country was incurring “behavioral abnormalities and problems of which only Allah knows”.Human rights groups in Saudi Arabia and abroad have condemned the practice of child marriages. The divorce rate in Saudi Arabia has risen from 25 per cent to 60 per cent in the past two decades. Ann Veneman, director of Unicef, said: “Unicef joins many in voicing concern that child marriage contravenes accepted international standards of human rights.” Dodger. |

She added that the country was incurring “behavioral abnormalities and problems of which only Allah knows”. Concubines and slave girls were rampantly practised by the Arabs in the pre-Islamic era and this practise seems diffificult for them to eradicate. As established and accepted by the British, there are customary and common laws to be adhered to. N.H. Chan, the former Court of Appeal judge of Malaysia used to say "A long time ago when I was a High Court judge, I have sentenced many criminals to death without qualms. But personally I am against the death sentence because it is barbaric. But as a judge I must apply the law as it is." I do believe that the mother has no locus standi thus her request was rejected.

| My sister from Indonesia, I share the same thought with you. Before I accepted Islam and then later married to my present husband, I felt the same as you. I always feel I would be short-changed by Islamic laws especially about marriage. He can marry four wives and won't care for me anymore, and that's a great gamble I have to make. Then a thought striked me that if I marry someone else, could I assure that he won't have girlfriends or mistresses? I have seen also many of my friends also got divorced and never saw their children and they were not Muslims. Marriage is based on trust, care and shared responsibility. Thus, marrying him is really a blessing, he guides me to understand more about my misundertanding of Islam. My husband shows me that Islam allows marrying to four wives if a husband able to be just, and if he thinks he can't be fair, the Quran says only marry one. There are a lot of personal interpretations about Islam which I always keep a distance. I find solace in communicating with Allah during my night prayers. My personal opinion is, if you want to embrace Islam because you love someone, please do rethink but if you think you embrace Islam because of marrying him so that he can teach and guide you how to submit yourself before the Almighty, then by all means, do so. Life is so beautiful when both of us share and learn how to submit ouselves to God, thanking Him for things He has given to us. |
