LOL. Have you read/heard of the book, Blasphemy, by Tahmina Durrani? It’s based upon a true story and deals with how corrupt some peers in Pak can be…their hypocrisies. Your post brought the book to mind. Anyhow in the book, there was a story about how two women had visited the Peer with the concern that they didn’t have any children yet. Both women became pregnant…one had a daughter and the other had a son. The kids grow up and fall in love and want to get married. The Peer forbids the marriage, giving some illogical reason. The real reason was that the boy and girl were brother and sister because the Peer had slept with both the women.
Not too long ago, someone had posted a youtube video containing a brief documentary on black magic in Pakistan. And ironically, it’s the educated people who fall into this trap more often than the poor…because the latter can’t afford it.
Agree with Diamond. While divorce is allowed…it is used as a last resort. What kind of Peer (one who believes in Islam)would encourage divorce as a “sacrifice”…and that too to ward off “evils.” To ward off evils, you can recite the 3 Quls/Ayatul Kursi, etc. I think if people (in this case the SIL) were to use their common sense and reflect over the very basic teachings of Islam…they’d realize that the Peer’s advice goes against those teachings…and he’s just a fraud.
OMG..That is so disgusting. Peers sleeping with women is common. Why on earth does a woman allow them to touch her in the first place really?
My cousin’s husband is a robot in his sister’s hands since she brought him up. The peer thinks she is..what..ominous for them? Err.. I hate them. They have made a young girl psycho. Damn those peers.
