Is it just me or does the Shaikh make a math error in the first video?! He says only 30% of children in the UK are living with both parents, as a fraction that would come to 3/10, but he says it is 1/3. Would be grateful if someone could check that. The figure of 3/10 is more favourable in terms of the argument he is trying to make!
Anyways it seems like an interesting lecture and I am checking it now.
Salaams!

Asalam o Alaikum

Brother Asgher, the Sister went abroad to meet family ? And then on her return she said that the age gap was an issue,
Hmm sounds like maybe the family might have given her negative points about the age gap,

I mean its not only your life she seemed to play around with but this sister must be abit confused !
May Allah swt give evveryone hidayah ! ameeeeeen

Wasalam

As-Salaamu ‘alaikum,

Asgher, probably she personally did not see a problem with it before, but perhaps her family have got to her. Perhaps they made her see things in a different light, but equally perhaps she was distressed by an angry response, or was told that they would no longer accept her if she continued with her marriage, or something like that. It does not sound like deception, unless she has taken a load of your money or something.

Re: Khalid, 21st Aug

The organisations behind this contract are the so-called Muslim Institute, AKA Muslim Parliament (based out of the same building), AKA Ghayasuddin Siddiqui, a former Khomeini fan-boy who is now trying to make a name for himself on the lecture circuit as a pet moderate, and Cassandra Balchin, a supposed convert with strong secularist and tendencies and a bee in her bonnet about polygamy. No traditionalist organisations are involved, and books relied on by traditionalists (e.g. Reliance of the Traveller) make it clear about issues like stipulations in marriage contracts and which are valid and which aren’t. This contract is a secularist effort, not a traditionalist one by any means.

Asalaam alaykum people.Interesting discussion.I may be going off the beaten track a bit here but i wonder what the thoughts are regarding my predicament.I got to know a pious sister back in June 2008 and she approached me regarding nikkah via a website (I know people will have varying opinions regarding this).We both practise Islam, Alhmdulillah but there is an age gap of 15 years between us. I repeatedly asked her if this was an issue and she always said not.We got on well always in the presence of a Mahram.I thought she would make a good wife for me and I am in a position to fulfill my obligations to her ie support,food,shelter etc etc.We planned Nikkah for after Ramadan but she was most keen to get it done quicker. Trusting her and her sincerity I agreed and Nikkah was done 2 weeks ago.She then went abroad for 1 week immediately to see family and I had no problem with this.On her return however, she decided that the age-gap, which she knew all about from day 1 and had stated as not being a problem, had suddenly become an issue.I explained that Nikkah, done quicker at her insistence is no trivial matter and at least we shoud try to make a go of it.She refused and has sought an annulment which I have granted her as I do not wish to be married to someone who doesnt wish to be married to me.I feel misled and am upset that a practising sister would either have 1.misled me from day 1 or 2.had so little regard for Nikkah that she was not even prepared to give it a try.We had met repeatedly pre-Nikkah and she always appeared to be in favour of this. My ego can cope but its the deception that troubles me.Any thoughts? Wa salaam.
