I love how you get angrier with each post of yours because you are running out of material to defend your God and every post of yours can be summed up as:
'Pls pls pls don't be judgmental.'
'Pls pls pls don't talk about his daughter'
'Pls pls pls don't say that an individual who has had multiple failed marriages is most likely not capable of comprising in a relationship'
You know what, as usual, you have spectacularly failed to understand my point and have interpreted to your conceive.
Can you point out where I've said that divorce is wrong and that it should be made illegal?
Can you point out where I have said that men should hold onto their wives and enslave them even if their wives are unhappy?
Obviously you cannot because I never said anything along those lines. You are putting words in my mouth because you are running out of material.
There is a reason why divorce is allowed in Islam. Some times, when things don't work out, it is better to part ways, and there is nothing wrong with that. However, unfortunately in our society, men misuse divorce, and plenty of women are exploited because of this and I don't know if you live in Pakistan or not, but life here is not easy for a woman who is a single parent.
A lot of men use divorce as a cop-out because they lack the capacity to compromise. Under very few circumstances is divorce unavoidable, and it is for those reasons that it exists in Islam.
However, if you get divorced twice, it is highly likely that as spouse you have issues. This simple point ticked you off for some reason, because obviously you are not prepared to hear anything that puts Saint Imran in a bad light.
Like I said, you have a lot of growing up to do. When you fully become an adult, you'll realise that marriage is a serious business, you cannot ruin another woman's life (especially if she herself wants to part ways) because it will make you look coward. Women do fall out of love too, you know. We are not living in 18th century where independent and educated women would reject divorce because of financial reasons or lack of family support.
Learn the art of brevity. There is nothing here that you said which hasn't been mentioned before and once again, you are addressing a point which has not even been made in the first place.
Don't hide behind the predictable 'you are a kid, grow up bla bla bla' cliches and learn to argue in a proper fashion. Like I have said earlier, you are not someone with whom one can have a conversation because you throw your toys out of the pram when you hear things that you do not wish to hear. It is you who needs growing up in this regard.
Can you please point out where I've said that women do not have the right to seek divorce? When have I said that?
In fact I am blaming the men of our society who have historically exploited divorce when they fail as spouses and cannot compromise. Please not that I am not talking about the exceptional cases which I have addressed already.
Divorce is a problem in the West, even if it's not considered a stigma given how common it is. No child likes to be brought up in a broken home where his/her parents do not live together happily. As someone who was in the same situation, I think you should acknowledge that. I certainly do.
Besides, your casual attitude towards divorce shows that you have been brought up in the West and are clearly unaware of the ground realities and implications of divorce.
Also, good job patronizing 'typical confused desi kids'. Looks like you have forgotten where you come from.
Growing up in the West and speaking with a foreign accent doesn't make you a desi.
I think it's been you who has been crying from the first post, crying about why I shouldn't say this and that rather than debating in a civil manner.
Perhaps she will not be impressed by the fact that a Pakistani man of roughly the same age, who she doesn't know, is talking about her but I am pretty sure that she is much more sickened by the fact that her father slept with her mother out of wedlock and scurried away from a U.S. Court when he was asked to present his blood sample, because he did not want to publicly acknowledge her because of his political career.
If she is not sickened by that and is sickened by me, I think she should get her priorities right.
The 'highly judgmental' public of Pakistan deserves to judge him, and the swinger Imran (pun intended) deserved to be judged.
Fornication is a crime according to both religion and state, let alone have a child out of wedlock.
Why shouldn't Saint Imran be judged for it?
The level of naivety is bizarre. So according to you, Saint Imran did not publicly declare acknowledge her because he wanted her to live a private and respectful life?
After all, refusing to give blood sample in a U.S. Court so that his paternity can be testified is clearly an act of dignity and respect, oh ostrich?
Once again, what makes you think she cares much about a father who refused to publicly acknowledge her to save his political career?
I think this says a lot more about the graciousness of Jemima rather than Imran. Most of the women in her position would not have acted like this, and I don't blame them one bit.
There's no doubt that Jemima is a wonderful lady.
