Would You Turn In Your Own Family Member?

Question

Let's say they did something bad. But they didn't kill anyone. Would you turn them in to the authorities?

I don't think I could ever betray my family like that no matter how bad their crime was. I would implore them to turn themselves in if it were really bad though.

What's more important: justice or family?

Answer 1

Depending on the type of crime, most likely yes.

It sounds really neat to be so supportive of family, but if you know a crime was committeed and don't blow the whistle, you are essentially encouraging that family member to continue committing crimes by your silence and "loyalty".

Answer 2

Family.

Answer 3

If this family member did something bad enough to think about telling the police, they already let you and the rest of your family know "you" didn't matter to them by committing this crime. They didn't care about shaming you and your family did they. So you are being loyal to what or who?

Answer 4

It would break my heart into a million pieces, but, yes, I would turn them in.

I would, however, never stop loving a family member - no matter how heinous or hideous their crime. Even if I wanted to stop loving them, I would not be able to. My love for my family members is so strong it is almost out of my control. That said, I would definitely hope that the punishment awarded to them fit the crime, and, if possible, that they would be able to be rehabilitated and re-released into society.

Answer 5

That would depend on the crime and whether they were a threat to the rest of the family or the public.

Answer 6

Justice.

Answer 7

This is a tough one. One would be torn to do what is right. Is it to protect family or to keep the law. My contribution in this case would be that am not a law enfrocement agent. I am duty bound by morals to look out for my own. I would not report neither would I go over board to shield them.

Answer 8

I too think you should be loyal to family, but let's look at something. What if that person did the bad thing you you?

Answer 9

depends how bad the crime and who/what the victims were. if it was a bad crime eg rape or murder them yes i would turn them in. also if the victims were vulnerable eg mugging an old lady then yes again. it depends if they are a threat to others aswell.

Answer 10

before everything stoning to loss of life exchange into never pondered by potential of Islam as a punishment for adultery. What makes people hate Islam is whilst Muslim pupils make Islam up, they convey about Islam the way they desire by potential of their very own rulings that's an significant sin certainly sins. The punishment for adultery is one hundred lashes (of reasonable intensity). This punishment would be appropriate in user-friendly terms in that state the place Islamic regulations are acknowledged. No man or woman is permitted to execute the penalty. to boot, the punishment is completed in user-friendly terms in case of accused being caught by potential of the regulation. Even if so, no remember if that's proved previous doubt that the accused had particularly repented over his sin until now being caught, the punishment is to be condoned. “Allah accepts the repentance of people who do evil in lack of expertise and repent quickly afterwards; to them will Allah subhana wa'ta'l. a. turn in mercy; for Allah is packed with expertise and awareness. i might never turn my sister/brother in for committing zina if i knew their punishment might bring about loss of life by potential of being "STONED TO loss of life" i might certainly tell my sister off and do my point suitable to steer her interior the nicely suited direction.
