Help plz!!?

Question

I have a muslim cousin who married a Christian boy without her parents approval. What would you if you were in the place of her parents?? Forgive her or ignore her??

Answer 1

Chop her F-ing Head off!!! INFIDELS!!!

Answer 2

It depends.
Are there religious LAWS that the parents feel obliged to follow?
If yes, they should follow the law.
Or, are there simply general guidelines?
If so, the parents should discuss together, work out a point of view and inform the young couple of what they can and cannot do.
Your cousin should have realized upon agreeing to marry a christian that part of the consequences would be alienating her parents.

Answer 3

In Islam, you do not need anyones approval to get married if you are not underaged.

There are only a few rules to abide by in marriage:

1. both parties have to be sane and must be fully aware of their decision when they say yes.

2. the man has to pay the girl a marriage gift of a sum of money. any sum she desires. she must use this to furnish her house and what not. this is called MIHR (remember, things like wedding rings and gowns and food and stuff are not obligatory in Islam and were never obligatory in the olden days)

3. they must be willing to marry and vow each other infront of God.

Thats about it.

As far as I know, Christians believe in a One God as well.

Even if Islamic practices never allowed such a thing, I would think that each persons experience is different and there can be exceptions to the rule of not marrying someone from a completely different faith system. As it is, this is practiced to avoid getting hurt by differences.

#1 how can you ignore your own flesh and blood

#2 If i believed everything i have learned in my 40 years, then heres the way i see it, There is a god, and this god (our god) has made it very clear to put no other god gefore him. so the majority of the muslim community has allah, so by logical conclusion, again based on the premise that i believe all i know, these muslims are going to live a very painful afterlife, so i say screw it, have some fun while your here.

Answer 5

If I were a Muslim I would probably ignore her. After all, that is what thier religion says to do. But if I were the Christian's parents I would try to reach out to them.

Answer 6

yush,

I'm not a believer, but I have some experience with family members announcing shocking news. Her parents may forgive her eventually, but she should know that it will probably take time-- much longer than if she had announced her intention to marry someone outside the faith.

At this point, she should be prepared for a lot of disappointment, and some sadness, as her parents mourn for the daughter they thought they had.

Answer 7

that is a tough situation, well the father is most likely to kick her out the house while the mother has a chance of forgiving her but i would forgive her because everyone needs a second chance

Answer 8

I'd just be mad I wasn't invited to the wedding. Who says Muslims should marry Muslims or Jews marry Jews, etc., etc., etc. I don't recall hearing this at my church ever and if your family goes to a church that tells you what type of person or religion you should marry into I'd seriouslly change churches.

Answer 9

Why do they need forgiveness? They haven't done anything wrong. Her parents should keep their mouths shut and let her live her own life.

Answer 10

They both serve the same God (I AM) or ALLAH so what is the problem?
Love God and DO good like God for that is the only answer.
Jah is the truth therefore go to jahtruth.co.uk
Love Matt

Answer 11

It is her choice who she marries, her parents need to accept it.
