The discussion centers around a recent court case in New Jersey where a judge referenced Sharia Law in relation to a rape allegation made by a wife against her husband. Participants explore the implications of religious customs in legal contexts, particularly in secular societies, and the boundaries of acceptable practices brought by immigrants. The conversation touches on various aspects of Sharia Law, its application in different jurisdictions, and the broader societal impacts of integrating religious law into secular legal systems.
Participants exhibit a range of views, with no clear consensus on the appropriateness of integrating Sharia Law into secular legal systems. Disagreements persist regarding the implications of consent, the treatment of women, and the legitimacy of religious courts.
Participants note the complexity of defining acceptable customs and practices, the potential for cultural biases in legal interpretations, and the unresolved nature of how religious laws interact with secular legal frameworks.
This discussion may be of interest to individuals studying law, sociology, religious studies, or those engaged in debates about immigration and cultural integration in secular societies.

You OWN a car, you DO NOT in any way own your wife / husband.
If you take two people, one says "I want to have sex with you" and the other says "no", but the first proceeds to do it anyway, that is rape, whether in marriage or not.
as aboveGeorgCantor said:Reference please.
OF COURSE! At least once in their lifetime. Isn't that somewhat obvious?[/QUOTE said:rubbish unless you prove it with a reference
If she has had sex for 5 years with you on 1003 occassions said:again, rubbish
I am not from the US said:i prefer that law to ones such as having a hand removed for theft...
GeorgCantor said:I understand now that is a commonly accepted understanding in the US, but you are asking for trouble with this. A "rape" by a husband is not comparable in ANY way WHATSOEVER to a rape by a stranger. And this is exactly 100.00% certain.
