shoud sharia or indian criminal law should be applied in this case?
Re: Woman 'ordered to marry rapist'
rvikz if youre trying to point out a flaw in sharia law please do so, so you can be answered appropriately.
The question you ask here is which law (sharia or indian) should be applied. As you can read in the article, the Islamic Sharia law is giving her sufficient justice, i.e. asking to kill the rapist. I dont see any reference to Indian Criminal law in the article so where'd that come from anyway?
As for the Council of Community Elders (it is unclear from the article if they are hindu or muslim) those mofos should be shot to death and fed to dogs.
Re: Woman 'ordered to marry rapist'
Well is the woman non-Muslim or Muslim? I didnt' c her name mentioned in there. I mean I know it's a stupid question, but are non-muslims obligated to follow Sharia Law? And btw, I read a similar case in tehTorah that a woman must marry her rapist. So uh....
Re: Woman 'ordered to marry rapist'
BBC news is not very correct. she is a Muslim lady and has lodged a complaint against her father in law for rape. At present her husband and father inlaw both are absconding.
The local sharyat maulvies have dictated that now onwards she is 'Haram' on her husband.
Re: Woman 'ordered to marry rapist'
Capital punishment for rapist
The Islamic shariah prescribes capital punishment for a convicted rapist. The non-Muslim may be horrified at such a stringent punishment in this age. Many accuse Islam of being ruthless and barbaric. I have asked a common question to hundreds of non-Muslim men. Suppose God-forbid, some one rapes your wife, your mother or your sister and you are made the judge. The rapist is brought in front of you. What punishment would you give him? All of them said, "we would put him to death." Some went to the extent of saying, "we would torture him to death", If your wife or your mother is raped you want the rapist to be put to death. But if someone else’s wife or mother is raped, capital punishment is a barbaric law. Why the double standards?

Re: Woman ‘ordered to marry rapist’
OMG - this is tiring, do you have any opinions of your own to add?
Re: Woman 'ordered to marry rapist'
Argh !! I feel like throwing such people into the ocean. The ones who are making the woman marry the rapist.
ps whats the point of the thread again. Apart from the fact that the rapist should be set on fire?
Re: Woman 'ordered to marry rapist'
this has nopthing to do with sharia or religion apart from the fact that according to sharia she can't be married to the man... and its the indian culture and law that are to blame in this case
Re: Woman 'ordered to marry rapist'
these group of elders who exactly appointed them judge jury and executioner how this news article links sharia law with this ruling is a joke.
Re: Woman 'ordered to marry rapist'
I'm really curious to know what the husband has to say about all this? Ie. is he okay with the jirga's verdict where his wife gets to marry his father and becomes his mother? Or did he set his father up straight for stooping so low?
Re: Woman 'ordered to marry rapist'
^
under shairah laws he cant have her as a wife any more after the incident....
but i think shariah also does not allow a person to marry his daughter-in-law even if his son divorces her or dies....
i dont think shariah wud approve of her marriage to her father-in-law....
and anyway marrying a rapist is really unIslamic and inhumane....
the man shud be killed and the woman shud be free to marry anyone else (besides her husband)....
but i dont think asian culture wud allow for her to be married....
Re: Woman 'ordered to marry rapist'
why does a raped woman become unlawful for her husband??
Re: Woman 'ordered to marry rapist'
not if she was raped by any other person, but because the act was carried out by her father-in-law....
Re: Woman 'ordered to marry rapist'
and that anulls her marriage to her husband,how?
Re: Woman ‘ordered to marry rapist’
Quran said that it is not her fault if the rape is done by force. Women are weaker than men, so they could be raped by men by force. Whats her fault in it?
Re: Woman 'ordered to marry rapist'
Imrana has approched the civil court, has rejected interference of Sharyat court in her matters.
What is Sharyat court…re Imrana
What is Sharyat court and where does it receive guidelines? Is Sharyat court guided by Quran? Or does Sharyat court follow traditions or earlier verdicts?
Here is a case creating confusion in India.
Imrana was raped by her father in law. And let us see how many fatwas have been issued in her case…
- She is haram on her husband and can not live with her anymore.
- She can choose to live with her father in law in future.
- Her relatives are conscious that some other verdict can be given in her case by Sharyat, that first she gets divorce from her husband, gets married to someone else, makes marital relations and again gets divorce and marrried her first husband.
What is this law? Why a rape victim should be cursed and punished?
And the lady Imrana expects her father in law to be punished, but has declared that she would accept the Sharyat verdict…..Alas, freedom of woman???
Re: What is Sharyat court....re Imrana
there was a thread few weeks ago on the same topic, lemi find and merge it.
Anyways, these rulings are all against (Islamic )sharia, It is very simple case the rapist will be executed ( raping a close relative "mehram" is offense punishable by death) and no effect on the marriage of lady.
But how and why they are they are bringing so called "sharia" into this ??When they can not enforce the verdict?
Since when in India, the cases are reffered to self styled sharia courts ?
This verdict is not much different then the verdict by village counsel which ordered rape of Mukhtaran mai ...

The All India Muslim Women Personal Law Board also took strong exception to the Deoband fatwa on Sunday, claiming that it was not in the light of the Quran.

Re: What is Sharyat court…re Imrana
This was a ruiling that was made by the local (primitive, backward) tribal council. It was condemned by the Muslim Board, who in turn demanded (as with most other mainstream Islamic organizations) the death penalty for the father-in-law.
So, why is the Indian media hyping the small-time backward fatawa, and not the ones made by the mainstream Muslim orgs?
Re: What is Sharyat court…re Imrana
Can you provide any supportive link/ information? Thanks in advance!
How can we distinguish between a backward fatawa and a forward fatawa?
