Muslim clerics tell man he must divorce woman carrying his father's child

[GBCW 397]

A 28-year-old woman created ruffles in the local administration and the Muslim community on Thursday by moving an application before District Magistrate Kaushal Raj Sharma to arrest her father-in-law and allow her to abort her seven-month pregnancy.

“My husband has been working in Dubai for the last two years. My father-in-law has been sexually assaulting me at gun point since 2013. I remained silent because he used to threaten to kill me. He also video recorded his act and threatened to make it public if I opened my mouth. When I told my husband about it, he blamed me for making a false allegation against his father. When I finally told my parents, they suggested me to take legal action against my rapist father-in-law,” the victim said.

Sharma confirmed that he had received the woman’s complaint and said: “I have asked the chief medical officer and the police to probe the case. Further action would be initiated against the culprit under the law.”

Clerics, however, have jumped into the case and have declared that, henceforth, the husband of the victim will be treated as her son.

Avoiding any comment against the father-in-law who repeatedly raped and blackmailed the victim, Maulana Mohammad Nazar of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind said: “As per the Sharia law, the baby in her womb is her husband’s brother. Her husband must divorce her, even if his father looked at his wife with lust.”

No abortion after 20 weeks in India.

Sad situation. But we also know this happens in America too. Their are children caring their father's baby right here in America.

Seems the Clerics have forgotten that in Islam a rapist punishment is death

It can't be rape. You have to have 4 witnesses to the act itself for it to be rape

lacking 4 witnesses a confession will work.

The guy didn't confess and there are no witnesses so he's innocent.

The woman however did confess to having sex with him so she

is guilty of adultery and should be punished accordingly.

Pretty much.

the video record that he did to keep the women from telling should take care of the four witnesses when viewed for evidence

She has to look like she's being raped though.

It would be a violation of his Sharia right to privacy to enter his home to look for the tape. Watching the tape without his permission would be spying. If you discover wrong doing

by spying you must ignore it.

Call me ignorant, cause I don't know much about Sharia rights, but seems to me that there isn't any rights for women in Sharia rights.

Were it to be accurate to suggest that the sex wasn't rape (I know the preponderance of evidence presented makes this unlikely, but for the sake of argument) it would be adultery. Would that father in law not be guilty of adultery as well? Or is the sin of adultery purely a sin of the woman as somehow she is solely responsible for the sex that takes place? it's like the mad right wing religious extremists in the US who seem to believe that babies do not result from rape, the woman has to have wanted to have sex in order to be impregnated. God's law does seem to suggest that women are basically harlots tempting men to do unspeakable things that they can't resist.

He perhaps could say she was his slave while the son was away...

[GBCW 397]

There was a void in her life while her husband was away in Dubai, and father-in-law was merely filling it for her....

There is obviously more to this story than we are being told. I can't believe that a son would be completely ignorant of his father's predilections of this nature. There are indications when a man feels free to enjoy raping family members.
