	Sharia - LearnThis.Info Enclyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Islamic jurisprudence is called fiqh and is divided into two parts: the study of the sources and methodology (usul al-fiqh - roots of the law) and the practical rules (furu' al-fiqh - branches of the law).
		Islamic teaching holds that life is given by Allah and should not be taken lightly, but it allows severe punishment, up to and including capital punishment, for certain kinds of crime; these include, in strict interpretations, all extramarital sexual relations (zina') by both men and women—though only married adulterers may be punished with death.
		Islamic law to American Muslims in Dearborn, Boston, or Houston is a very different thing than Islamic law to religious Muslims in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the Gaza Strip, western China, Nigeria[1], Indonesia, or Pakistan.

	Jewish view of marriage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Judaism considers marriage to be the ideal state of existence; a man without a wife, or a woman without a husband, are considered incomplete.
		The Jewish declaration of marriage includes the phrase that the marriage is being carried out by the laws of Moses and Israel; according to the sages, such a declaration has no meaning for a marriage ceremony between a Jew and a gentile.
		As civil marriage does not exist in Israel, the only institutionalized form of marriage in Israel is the religious one, i.e.

		The cornerstone of Islamic faith is a strict belief in monotheism.
		Some Islamic behaviors are similar to pre-Islamic practices from the Arabian Peninsula - in particular, the hajj and three of its associated practices: circling the Kaaba, kissing the Black Stone, and the stoning of three pillars outside Mecca.
		Islamic traditions have several sources: the Qur'an, the hadiths, and interpretations of both by scholars.

		In its 'ibadah aspect, marriage is an act pleasing to Allah because it is in accordance with his commandments that husband and wife love each other and help each other to make efforts to continue the human race and rear and nurse their children to become true servants of Allah.
		Marriage is forbidden (haram) to a man, according to the Hanafi school, if he does not possess the means to maintain his wife and children or if he suffers from an illness, serious enough to affect his wife and progeny.
		In order that problems should not arise after marriage the Prophet (peace be upon him) recommended that, in the selection of his bride, a man should see her before betrothal lest blindness of choice or an error of judgment should defeat the very purpose of marriage.

	Family Planning, Contraception and Abortion in Islam page 3
		Within the Islamic view of marriage, an individual has the right to sexual pleasure within marriage, which is independent of ones choice to have children.
		Given the Islamic scholarly legacy as well as the demands of the current period, I would argue that opponents of family planning are not only inadequately informed but lacking in judgement and the ability to articulate a dynamic and socially relevant Islamic response to challenges of the time.
		I would like to reiterate that while the views of the learned scholars may be illuminating and helpful (or not !), in Islam the individual believer retains the right to make her own decisions on the basis of being a moral agent (khalifah).

	The islamic fundamentalist view of life as a perennial battle
		Islamic fundamentalism offers a radical reinterpretation of traditional Islamic concepts, and its discourse on the subject of battle serves to mobilize believers, warn them against those identified as enemies, and encourage them to train, organize, and actively participate in the battle.
		Viewing only Sharia-based regimes as really legitimate, some have reinterpreted the traditional concepts of jahiliyya and takfir in their attempts to justify the use of force against other Muslims and against state-regimes.
		In his view, jahiliyya is not a pre-Islamic historical era of paganism but rather an ever-present condition of denying God's rule, usurping His authority, and living by man-made laws that enslave men to their rulers, engendering oppression.

		The Islamic view is that while marriage between cousins is permissible, it is certainly preferable to choose a marriage partner from outside one's family.
		The marriage itself requires a commitment by the bride, or her guardian who acts for her, and an acceptance by the bridegroom.
		In Islamic societies, where the Islamic approach to the marriage is largely followed, the percentage of discontinued marriages is much lower.

	The Islamic View Of Adoption And Caring For Homeless Children
		This fact does not mean that adoption is illegal, it only means that a legal system that imposes a prohibition on marriage to the ex-wife of an adopted son is imposing an additional constraint beyond that imposed by Islamic law.
		Islamic law forbids a man to marry a woman who had been suckled by the same wet nurse as the man, regardless of whether either was adopted by the wet nurse.
		The advantages from a medical point of view to such knowledge are obvious, but there are also issues of the subjective importance of knowing one's own identity.

	Michael L. Fitzgerald, M.Afr. - Some Notes on the Islamic View of Women
		The dowry is an essential part of the marriage contract: "And give unto the women (whom ye marry) free gift of their marriage portions; but if they of their own accord remit unto you a part thereof, then ye are welcome to absorb it (in your wealth)" (4:4).
		In a colloquium on "Women in Society" organised jointly by the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue and the Royal Academy for Islamic Civilisation Research, Amman, the paper on women's status in Islam was given by Dr Abdul Aziz Khayyat, a religious scholar and former minister in the Jordanian Government.
		In concluding this short paper on Islamic views of women it is necessary to emphasise again the fragmentary nature of this study.

	Dowry - Wikpedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		A dowry is a gift of money or valuables given by the bride's family to that of the groom to permit their marriage.
		In societies where payment of dowry is common, unmarried women are seen to attract stigma and tarnish the household's reputation, so it is in the bride's family's interest to marry off their daughter as soon as she is eligible.
		The tradition of giving dowries is perhaps most well-known in the country of India, where it is still very common, especially in rural areas, despite being prohibited by law as of 1961.

	Q689 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		It speaks of the normal state of affairs which is acceptable to Islam that a woman is given away in marriage by her guardian.
		Imam Abu Hanifah, on the other hand, is of the view that since a woman is allowed in Islam to enter into all sorts of contracts without referring to a guardian or a husband or a father or any relative, she may enter into a marriage contract as well.
		It simply means that when she wants to get married, she has to have her marriage done properly, which means, from the Islamic point of view, that the marriage contract must be attended by her guardian.
