No matter what the reason may be, there is no excuse for enduring injustice.

A Family in Severe Psycho-Spiritual Crisis- Guilty Verdict in Shafia Murders
The Shafia family practiced what would be termed cultural or cafeteria Islam. This is the Islam in which immigrant parents raise their children in a relatively secular household but then expect them, the girls especially, to behave as law abiding, pious Muslims.

Arranged against the person will, without consent or consent under duress. That is not a marriage in Islam; it is oppression and abuse.

What we don’t hear are the voices of the abused behind the closed doors of many homes across social, economic, ethnic, racial and gender lines. They exist in our community just as they exist in the non-Muslim communities. Domestic violence is, again, a human problem much like sexual harassment.
