Here's a toughie:
A single muslim girl comes to you and tells you that she is pregnant but is no longer with the father of the baby. They are not even in touch with each other and it would be quite a task to even be able to locate him. The girl is unemployed and is a student. She is intent on keeping the baby no matter what. She knows that her family would not be accepting of it at all and alot of mouths will be talking... but she also knows that her grandmother will be her supporter, emotionally and financially. Right now shes excited at the prospect of becoming a mother and having someone of her own to love and be loved by forever and without any conditions. Basically, she sees nothing wrong with this whole scenario save for the out of wedlock bacha.. she thinks shes blessed to be with baby and the only regret is that it wont grow up with two parents. But she thinks she can manage.
All she asked is my take on the issue and what I think are the chances of a happy and stable life? I told her realistically its slim to none that there'll be stability but happiness is definitely possible. I dont think its a very smart idea to go through with such a thing, but thats just me... and thats not what she asked... she didnt ask whether she should keep it or not, all she asked is my predictions of her future. I have no experience whatsoever with this sorta thing, so all you wiser more experienced elders, i'd appreciate if you'd please contribute your two cents. Many thanks :)
What's done is done and cannot be erased.
Now, she should focus on her health and well-being. Plan to provide a happy life for the child. Maybe find a job, talk to her family about the mistake she has made but how she needs their support. Hopefully she will be able to raise the child and overcome the challenges of being in that position.
