Forced Marriages Undermine the Values of Islam, by Tehmina Kazi

4/13/2012

 
Published in the Huffington Post today, by Tehmina Kazi, Director of British Muslims for Secular Democracy

"The right to choose who you will live with, sleep with, eat with and possibly raise children with, for the rest of your life, is as basic a right as they come. Violations of this right are not only disastrous for the individuals involved, but they undermine values that are fundamental to British society and Islam itself (...) The Qu'ran is clear on the importance of upholding justice, even if it means testifying against family members: 'O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even if it be against yourselves, your parents, and your relatives, or whether it is against the rich or the poor...' (Quran 4:135). "   The full article can be found at:
