Den omvendte verden

Man kan selvfølgelig se det som et juridisk fremskridt for kvindens rettigheder. Men man er også nød til at sige, at her var sagen kun endt i retten med en helt anden og omvendt disput, nemlig det at man ikke kan tvinge sin datter til at gifte sig, med den man kræver. Altså et andet udgangspunkt, hvor individet har rettighed til sig selv og sine egne valg, hvorimod forældrene har ansvar for en mellem 0-18 år.

Fra Kuwait:

‘Let the girl wed man of her choice’

KUWAIT CITY, Aug 4: The Personal Status Court of Appeals overturned Tuesday the verdict of a lower court and ordered a Kuwaiti man to allow his daughter, Israa, to marry the man who proposed to her. During a previous session, the lawyer for Israa, Attorney Hassan Al-Ajmi, told the court a good man approached his client’s father and offered to marry her, yet he refused, similar to what he had done to other men who previously proposed to his daughter. Since this man has a good reputation with great morals, high education, and very good position at a foreign company as an engineer, he has the ability to provide his future wife and children with a comfortable life, Ajmi explained.
