Re: Zahra Haiders Article about relationships in Pakistan
And I’ve said it before…you have some folks who love to deflect from the subject at hand. When there’s a discussion on zina…deflectors will say, “yeah but gossiping is much worse.” Two different things…stick to the subject.
What is the argument being made here? That a marriage certificate or a nikahnama doesn’t necessarily validate sexual relations? Or reckless sex with a gajillion partners that entails MUTUAL consent is better/superior than having only one sexual partner in a forced marriage that is not legitimate according to shariah in the first place? So we’re comparing wrong with wrong …haram with haram…and measuring whether they’re equally worse or one is worse than the other? Or is it a defensive retaliation of “Oh yeah…well the conservative cultures are no better than the liberal one?” Just focus on Zehra’s situation. Is promiscuity better/worse than exercising sexual relations only within the confines if a VALID and mutual marriage? Which of the two bodes better for society on the whole? Unchecked recklessness of Zehra’s variety…or having some boundaries/limits? Which results in more benefits or harm. Compare right to wrong…don’t compare 2 wrongs to point our that one messed up approach or system us just as bad as another.
Agreed.
