Re: Bangladesh clerics warn intermim govt against changing inheritance laws
Look, it is a straight forward question.
Why wouldn't sOn and daughter have equal rights?
If the only reason is Quran says, add it to the list of changes required to make islam equitable to all.
Otherwise it is discriminatory - no different from polygamy, 1st cousin marriage etc which give it a bad taste and name
Equal rights .... they do. Both have a right to inheritance. Let me pose a question to you. If you have one child 4 years old and another 15 years old. Its obvious the 15 year old will have more expenses. Now both of your kids have an equal right upon you that you bare their expenses but do both have an equal right to equal share of expenses given the age difference? If not why?
