Re: dispute in inherhitence
The problem I have is with this is all the assumptions….which is why I mentioned earlier that it really doesn’t matter the details of this re-convervion (ie. he converted before marriage….wife didn’t know but the sister did….but didn’t tell the wife?).
The fact is that we don’t know what the wife knew or didn’t. We don’t know what discussions took place b/t them in the private. We don’t know for a FACT what the wife knew/thought or believed about the husband’s initial conversion to Islam…as to whether it was genuine or not. At this point, we also don’t know for a FACT that the wife would have left the husband, stopped loving/caring about him, and not left him the jewelry EVEN IF she knew that we converted back to Christianity. We can talk about what she should have done according to Islam, we can ASSUME what she may have done based on her personality etc…..but not a single person really knows for a fact what she would have actually done. It’s all speculation at this point based on our own personal beliefs. Based on what OP wrote, the dead sister did not put any conditions to the jewelry division.
The one and only thing we know for a fact….that is not disputed at all is that while alive, the sister wanted half of the jewelry which was hers to go to this man. Period. At this point it simply boils down to whether or not OP is going to respect her dead sister’s wishes….wishes that the sister herself actually told OP believing that OP could be trusted to carry it out.
