children?
Who is to blame for forced marriage?
What should be done within our communities to stop this happening to anyone's son/daughter?

[puzobok]

Forced Marrige is haram , everyone has a free will and a choice, there is no oppression and supression in Islam!

[sniskelsowwef]

Forced Marrige is haram , everyone has a free will and a choice, there is no oppression and supression in Islam!

So why are such marriages ALMOST always exclusively found in muslim communities?

[MaickiP]

Exactly! mostly Pakistani, Indian Bangladeshi communities because they are practice culture and not ISLAM

[yasalaioqe]

ASWW
Ooooo!! .. Question and answer!

[educationonlines]

So why are such marriages ALMOST always exclusively found in muslim communities?

Forced marriages are found not in "muslim communities" but South Asian communities, regardless of whether they are Muslim, Hindu, or Sikh. There was a major case here in Canada where a Sikh family murdered their daughter because of these reasons. These are not part of Islam, but part of Indian culture.

David cameron will not tolerate forced marriages!! who cares about what david cameron will tolerate?
What are we doing also to protect our children? We could protect our children by not forcing them to get married.
Who is to blame for forced marriage? The person who forced the marriage.
What should be done within our communities to stop this happening to anyone's son/daughter? One way is to become an alim and raise awareness about the issue if that is too long then call a scholar to your community to speak about the subject. or you can make about a few thousand leaflets and distribute them.

I don't know where you live but i would say that now the problem is less about forcing marriages its more of girl/boy forcing their parents to accept their haram relationships.

that is absolutely true

a forced marriage in Islam doesn't count

therefore forced Islamic marriage doesn't exist

where it happens it is not marriage at all and it has nothing to do with Islam

its just something that Jahiliyyah people do

[MaickiP]

where i live is not important. Many girls and boys are still forced to go abroad and get married and to bring over relatives.

We live in the UK and David Cameron does Matter and The Queen does Matter because as non-muslims they are doing what the muslims should be doing.
We in these countries don't live under the oppression of corrupt leaders, and we are free to practice our deen erect our
mosques, access courts, address breaches of our human rights, receive free medical care, our children are not forced into
child Labour, we can get welfare benefits. We don't have to worry that our children will go to bed hungry or that they will be homeless. the elderly , the disabled, even the animals are taken care of. These are the people of the Book and I pray Allah
guides them to His DEEN of ISLAM, and reward them for their efforts.

well first off all the queen does not do anything and don't get me started about David Cameron. But that is beside the point. We need to get out this inferiority complex.
But i have given a solution so which of the below options are you going to choose?

But that is all changing, have you not been reading the news about our beloved country which we are supposed to be proud of?

[Efksqhyu]

But that is all changing, have you not been reading the news about our beloved country which we are supposed to be proud of?

Oh yeah and who is behind all that; David Cameron the savior of those forced into marraiges!!!

[MaickiP]

And whose footsteps are they following?

[sniskelsowwef]

.......But that is beside the point. We need to get out this inferiority complex.

I can't see where the complex is....the brother is stating facts.

About the solution: Such people are quite touchy, if they can kill their own children, what would prevent from these person harming you if you try to highlight the issue in the way stated.

[sniskelsowwef]

But that is all changing, have you not been reading the news about our beloved country which we are supposed to be proud of?

Nothing is changing,

Don't worry they won't take away your benefits. The kuffar will keep paqying you the welfare they owe you 'cos you're "poor" so Chill brother.

What do you mean?

I am not worrying about benefits because i don't claim any. But to say that everything is comfortable in this country is an overstatement.

[MaickiP]

So what is your solution?

I suggest that the IMAMS RAISE AWARENESS OF THIS, THEY HIGHLIGHT THE PROBLEM, EDUCATE ALL THOSE PRESENT ON FRIDAYS, REINFORCE THE MESSAGE OF ISLAM IN RELATION TO THESE ISSUES AND DO IT CONTINUOUSLY. BUT THE GREATEST BARRIER IS THE PRACTICE OF CULTURE THAT ADDS THE THIS PROBLEM. CULTURE VS ISLAM CULTURE HAS TO BE HINDERED SOMEWAY FROM BEING PRACTICED

What was wrong with my solution? Is it because the imams should do everything or we are too lazy?
