Re: Appeal Court Rules On A Muslim Man Marrying A Christian Wife! by IdeasYapayaski:
The first wife who claims she is a Christian knows that she ought to have shared the late man's belongings with the two other wives, be it they be Muslim or not. She ought to have shown seniority and also that she is a Christian. As Christians, we were told not to hold on to anything too passionately in this life, for it is not our own. We're living everything behind.

But the greedy women who wants to steal the inheritance of the children and their mothers and the deceased’s living parents, is not violent?

Beat her for being greedy and self-centered. Did you think if the court grants her inhumane wish, the children from other wives will not come for her?

Infact she still deserves the beating even after the ruling.

Correct 💯... She's so wicked to d extent of leaving the bereaved parents to suffer regardless of whatever might be her reasons...She doesn't care about the safety of her children at all...

The woman in question is not a polytheist,she is a Christian and Muslim men are allowed to marry chaste Jews and christian women but it is only discouraged by scholars. Check Quran 5.5.
Emu4life:
The Man did not adhere to Allah's instructions. He should blame himself.

Do not marry polytheistic women until they believe; for a believing slave-woman is better than a free polytheist, even though she may look pleasant to you. And do not marry your women to polytheistic men until they believe, for a believing slave-man is better than a free polytheist, even though he may look pleasant to you. They invite ˹you˺ to the Fire while Allah invites ˹you˺ to Paradise and forgiveness by His grace.1 He makes His revelations clear to the people so perhaps they will be mindful.
(Al- Baqarah : 221)

Sometimes, we may not see much sense in what the Qur'an and Hadith instructed, but that's because we lack the Wisdom to understand. But It is the absolute truth

A Court of Appeal sitting in Kano, last week, ruled that a marriage between a Muslim to a Christian lady does not nullify the religion of the husband.

In a unanimous ruling, the court said the fact that a Muslim married a woman with another religion is allowed, but cannot change the religion of the husband.

The court rulings follow an appeal against another judgement by an Appeal Court in Kwara state over the inheritance of an army Major who died while in service.

Late Major Mohammed Arogun Adeniyi died and left behind three wives, and his aged parents.

However, one of the wives, who is the first wife and a Christian approach the court that she was the only person with her children that has the right to the late Major Mohammed inheritance, excluding the other wives, and children, including the aged parents.

She approached the court to allow her and her children have all the decease’s inheritance according to Christianity laws.

The late Major during his life time had married two other women, Maimuna Mohammed, and Inna Fatima Mohammed according to Islamic laws, while the first wife, Evangelist Mrs Olabisi Mohammed was married under the Marriage Act.

The army promptly paid the late solider’s entitlements and gratuity, to the decease’s first daughter, Nike, as the next of kin.

The Appeal Court after listening to the submission of the learned counsel for the appellants, Tajudeen Oladoja SAN, ruled that the administration of estate of a person who lived and died as a Muslim, but married a Christian under the marriage act is governed by Islamic laws.

The deceased Major though married to his first wife under the marriage act, was born a Muslim and died as one and the late officer being a Muslim was rightly entitled to more than one wife, but not exceeding four at a given time, and he was also free to marry a Christian .The fact that the late Major Mohammed married a Christian under the marriage act does not mean he renounced his Islamic Faith. His subsequent marriages to Maimuna Mohammed and Inna Fatima Mohammed under the Islamic laws, were in consonance with his constitutional guarantee right. The court hereby accept the submission of the learned counsel that the inheritance of the late Major Mohammed is for all those he left behind, including his aged parents.

- A Muslim marrying a Christian does not change the husband's religion.

May we never use our hand to do ourselves!
The evil that men do truly lives after them!
May Allah grant us success!
This a a marriage/family section news it's very unwise to post it on exclusive Muslim section.
Is it that you have an ulterior motive?
Re: Appeal Court Rules On A Muslim Man Marrying A Christian Wife! by Sterope(f):
Muslims cannot inherit non-Muslims automatically and vice versa. Unfortunately, if a deceased inheritance is shared according to Islamic law, good luck to people who haven't thought it through.

How do you mean by the last paragraph? That he married the number of wives he so desired in his life time has now become the evil? What’s wrong in that? From the loo of things he obviously was a rich man that could afford his bills

The first wife claims is constitutional if a man doesn't have a will, then all inheritance belongs to the wife and children exclusively. However, I don't know how much the law recognises the multiple wife twist. Customary laws can handle that

Beat her for being greedy and self-centered. Did you think if the court grants her inhumane wish, the children from other wives will not come for her?

Infact she still deserves the beating even after the ruling.
This is a daft thinking and you are a moro//n for justifying or advocating for violence.
