Re: Bangladesh clerics warn intermim govt against changing inheritance laws
Peace All
There is a balance in Islam ... these myopic ideas of lessening the gap are counter-intuitive.
Males have to by obligation portion some of their money for their parents, some for their children/family, and wives. However, women's inheritence is her own, she has no obligation to portion that wealth to her husband, nor to her children nor to her parents, brothers or sisters.
These roles are part of a balance in nature if we disrupt that balance then we will end up creating unrest and inequitability. Equality should not be applied in any role related function except where it is sanctioned by Islam. Rights however are equal just as the rights of the manager and employee are equal, but responsibility is greater with the manager, as a result a greater accountability can be exercised over them and duly they are given more authority.
