Breastfeeding kinship forces Saudi couple to get divorced

[siah1214]

:s Don't understand this culture.

 

 

 

A Saudi court has issued a ruling for the divorce of a couple who were found to have been breastfed by the same woman when they were infants, the Saudi Gazette reported on Saturday.

The couple had been married for 25 years, during which they had seven children, according to the report, which added that their case had been under review for three months.

In Islam, Muslims consider a woman who breastfeeds children of other women as their mother and her children as their siblings.

They therefore cannot marry.

In this instance, the case was reviewed by the Saudi Grand Mufti, Sheikh Abdulaziz al-Asheikh, who approved the divorce.

The obvious conclusion is the correct one. They are all ridiculous ######.

 

Unfortunately, some are stuck further back than others, and continue to result in some horrific acts against our fellow man.

Well, at least this one is just stupid rather than horrific...

It boggles my mind. "25 years and 7 children? Who cares, you sucked on the same titty as children, your marriage is void"

Their current beliefs is like from the 1st century. They are still living in an environment that are not to our time. While Christianity had been evolved and we currently enjoy our freedom. Most Muslims countries still living in the past and women are just an object which don't have rights and are prosecute and kill just for anything. It is scare and a nightmare.

Nothing ignorant at all, Christianity and it's various sects have for the most part gotten caught up with current times, yes you have your Westboro and Mormon cults/sects that insist on living in the past, but they are a small plurality of Christianity as a whole, and most of us do live in the current reality and don't insist on forcing anyone to live in the past, if Atheists were as clued in as they claim they would know that

The pope disagrees with you, you know the biggest Christian sect, they might not be as bad as the worst Muslim sects but they're certainly still in the dark ages.

Also the fact that he (and you) claim Christianity is modern and free isn't the most ignorant part of that post.

Never underestimate the propensity for people to defend Islam at all costs.

Who's defending. More pointing out the hypocrisy of attacking Islam and in the same breath praise the greatness of Christianity.
