Forced Marriages and Consent
The first legal and ethical principle we must adhere to undermines our culture of forcing people to marry. We force people to marry when we do not allow them to object and or we threaten to disown our own children when they disobey us. We do this using religion no less. The Qur’an states (17:23): […]
