Re: modern muslim marriage contract

@Kuffs

It’s a bit shocking to see the lack of Islamic knowledge by most people who responded. I am a muslim who has doubts about the existence of God because of science etc, but that is another subject all together. But i have “researched” Islam for a few years now as a Muslim and i know the basics, it’s a bit hypocritical to not know this stuff.

In the words of House “follow it all or none”.

My point is firstly cultures have distorted Islamic law in many places including marriage. Secondly the rule of two women for one man is ONLY IN BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS and that is because Men (even today in most countries) are in charge of business trade, so they have better knowledge on that subject, which is not a problem.

In witnessing a Nikah, it can be a person of ANY gender, but they have to be sane and an adult. Most scholars state that even in court cases 1 women’s testimony = 1 man testimony. THE 2 FOR 1 RULE IS ONLY IN BUSINESS RELATED STUFF.

finally, i don’t understand how people can EVEN THINK that 2 women = 1 man for witnessing etc is acceptable and not sexist??? To say that 1 woman cannot witness a marriage like a man is unacceptable and unfair. I have a few issues with religion but this is not one in Islam’s case.

Main point
Please show your Islamic sources, I’d be more than happy to accept this standpoint but without authentic hadith and Quranic backing I can’t be sure either stance is correct. I hope someone with knowledge will enlighten us on the issue.

I, and many others on this thread, only mentioned perspectives and opinions, not a religious stances. So, please don’t belittle the people on this thread as if you have much more Islamic knowledge. If you have knowledge share it with humility, do not scorn at others for not knowing, because that is then your own ignorance. Knowledge comes from Allah, it did not come to you all by yourself, so be humble.

Side note
Also, on your side point about doubts of god because of science, science confirms all that is written in the Qur’an.

If your doubts stem from the propaganda of evolution, I’d like to clarify that even this theory has its pitfalls, many previous discoveries of the ‘missing link’ between man and apes have been revealed as fake and man made proofs. Also the theory of evolution originated to believe in white supremacy over those with other races, believing through natural selection and evolution they developed more so than others and so should treat those of coloured skin as animals, if you don;t believe me check the records. This ultimately lead to Darwins grandson creating a white elitism club, which stretched far and wide across Europe and is one of the constitutive factors to Hitlers stance and rise. (bit of history for you there) The theory itself was clarified by darwin as being incomplete and full of holes.
If your doubts do not stem from such issues, it’s food for thought anyway.

Not to mention, an illiterate man having such knowledge 14k years ago is impossible by any means, so where did he gain the knowledge he did?
