Muslims residing in the State of New York are in a dual situation when it comes to the implementation of family law. On one hand, they are governed by the religious law of Islam, known as Islamic sharia, and on the other hand, the secular family law of the state of New York. To Muslims, the family law of Islam mandates that marriage and divorce among Muslims should be done in accordance with the Islamic sharia, regardless of whether they live in an Islamic or secular country. Civil divorce decrees obtained by secular courts are not recognized by Islamic sharia.
Under Islamic law, a Muslim man may marry a non-Muslim woman, whereas a Muslim woman is prohibited from marrying non-Muslim man. Under these rules, a non-Muslim woman marrying a Muslim man in compliance with Islamic sharia is subject to the rules of Islam in the areas of divorce, child custody and inheritance. In other words, a non-Muslim woman who gets married to a Muslim man in accordance with Islamic sharia, loses custody of her children in case of divorce, or in case the husband dies. Consequently, a non-Muslim woman marrying to a Muslim man is forced, under the rules of Islamic sharia, to surrender custody of her son when he reaches the age of seven, and her daughter at the age of nine. She also prohibited from inheritance. These rules are applied throughout Muslim countries with a system of sharia-based family law in place.
Marriage Contracts in Islamic Sharia
Under the rules of Islamic sharia, the marriage contract should include: (1) names and addresses of the couple; (2) name of the guardian of the bride; (3) names and addresses of two male witnesses; and (4) the amount of mahr, or a promise of money or its equivalent to be given by the husband to the bride. Like any other civil contracts, Islamic marriage contract should be in the form of offer and acceptance by the parties.
Contrary to the popular notion that mahr is dowry; it is not. A dowry is what the wife contributes to her marriage while mahr is an obligation on the husband to pay his future bride. Others call it a gift; it is not a gift either, because mahr is an obligation on the husband and is mandated by the Quran. The Quran calls it sadaq (Quran 4:4). If no stipulation of mahr is provided in the marriage contract, the marriage remains legal and in effect; in such a situation, the “qadi” (judge) will determine the amount of mahr, which remains a property of the wife alone. The amount of mahr can be paid partially: up-front (Arabic, muqaddam), and deferred until divorce or death of the husband (Arabic, muakhar), or it may be prepaid in full before the consummation of the marriage.
Legal Status of the Mahr Provision in Islamic Law
The most important feature of the mahr provision is that one party makes an offer and the other can accept or refuse to accept. It is a financial settlement between the couple in case a divorce occurs or the husband dies. Although, Muslim women do not personally bargain for the mahr agreements, and, in almost all of the divorce cases that I have seen so far, in the Middle East, Europe and the United States, Islamic marriage agreements involving mahr are negotiated by the representative (Arabic Wali) of the bride.
In the State of New York, an Islamic marriage contract involving mahr may be considered premarital agreement for a divorce settlement. In legal terms, this is called a concurrence of wills or meeting of the minds of the future husband and his future wife. This also means that each party from an objective perspective engaged in conduct manifesting their acceptance, and a contract was formed when both parties met such a requirement.
The basic rule is that a premarital contract will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the law of the state in which it was entered into. Thus an Islamic marriage contract signed in Egypt according to the Egyptian law for example, must be interpreted according to the law of Egypt. The Restatement of the Law Second Conflict of Laws 3d, Chapter 8, Contracts, is clear about the law for the state chosen by the parties to a contract. The text of the Restatement reads: “(1) The law of the state chosen by the parties to govern their contractual rights and duties will be applied if the particular issues is one which the parties could have resolved by an explicit provision in their agreement directed to that issue.”
Looking at both academic and case studies in this area of law, this article points the reader in the direction of the current trends in the treatment of mahr in New York State and to address Islamic family law issues relevant to New York State law and the working of its legal system. The mahr provision in an Islamic marriage contract has been interpreted differently in other states. For more information on treatment of mahr in other states, the individual should seek legal advice.
Interpretation of the Mahr in New York State
Muslim men and women assert their Islamic legal rights in American family courts; as a result, Islamic sharia governing their marriages and divorces becomes an important and complicated part of the American legal landscape. This leads to a discussion of court cases involving Muslim marriage and divorce litigations in the State of New York, as well as whether New York courts will enforce the terms of Muslim marriage contracts, mainly the mahr provision.
New York courts have jurisdiction over divorce cases within its territory, with specific focus on premarital contract structured in accordance with foreign laws. And, various state courts have found no public policy prohibition in enforcing such agreements. In New York, a mahr agreement may be interpreted within the context of a contractual obligation.
In Aziz v. Aziz, the couple entered into a mahr agreement which required the payment of $5,032, with $32 advanced and $5,000 deferred until divorce. The New York court ruled that the contract conformed to New Yorks contract requirements, and that “its secular terms are enforceable as a contractual obligation, notwithstanding that it was entered into as part of a religious ceremony.” (See Aziz v. Aziz, N.Y.S.2d at 124).
In this case, the husband argued that the mahr agreement provided in the Islamic marriage contract could not be enforced because it was a religious document and was not enforceable as a contract. The wife responded by stating that although the mahr is a religious stipulation; its secular terms can be properly enforced by the court. The court agreed with the wife and ordered the husband to pay the deferred mahr. The court found that the mahr agreement complied with the necessary statutory requirements to be recognized and enforceable as a premarital agreement and held that the secular terms of the mahr agreement were “enforceable as a contractual obligation, notwithstanding that it was entered into as part of a religious ceremony.” The court stated that the mahr agreed to by the couple constituted a secular debt of $5,000 and ordered the husband to fulfill the terms of the agreement.
The case was based entirely on another New York of Appeals case of Avitzur v. Avitzur involving a Jewish Ketubah in which a Jewish woman sued for specific performance to force her ex-husband to appear before a Beth Din (Jewish Court). Under Jewish Law, only a man can grant a divorce, or “Get”. Until he does, the woman cannot remarry within the Jewish faith to anybody. Her children will then be considered illegitimate. In order that a “Get” may be obtained, both husband and wife have to appear before the Beth Din. The husband refused to appear, leaving the woman in a state of marital limbo, making her an “agunah.” The New York Court of Appeals found that the Jewish ketubah constituted a valid premarital agreement that could be enforced despite the religious underpinnings of the agreement.
Conclusion
As the second largest religion, and with the number of Muslims immigrating to the United State on the rise, American courts are more frequently looking into Islamic divorce litigations between Muslim couples. Out of respect to Islamic law and culture, American courts attempt to apply certain provisions from Islamic sharia, such as the mahr contract in divorce cases involving Muslim couples. By doing so, American courts risk involving their arguments with gender and economic inequalities between Muslim men and women, leaving Muslim women destitute. The application of mahr agreements in Islamic divorce in the United States prevents women from exercising their rights to equitable distribution of marital assets upon divorce. If the courts need to extend their respect to Islamic law in divorce situations, they should look into whether the wife had a choice in signing the mahr agreement. Muslim women do not personally bargain for the mahr agreements, and, in almost all of the divorce cases that I have seen so far, in the Middle East, Europe and the United States, the Islamic marriage agreements involving mahr are negotiated by the representative (Arabic Wali) of the bride. Other states do not regard the mahr to be a premarital contract. Individuals seeking information on the treatment of mahr by other states should seek legal advice from a competent attorney.

This is a really important topic for me since I have been blessed to have found my soul mate over 20 years ago. I met my wife Sally when she was 16 and I was 18 and we have been together since and celebrate 17 years of marriage this November.

The Law of Attraction will easily and effortlessly attract and improve the relationships you are meant to have.
There is an important word to keep in mind when it comes to the law of attraction and relationships: trust. Trusting that you are having the right relationships. Trusting that the right relationships will come to you. Trusting that your relationships will work out. If you have a challenging situation with a relationship and you turn to the Law of Attraction, it is key to add a little trust. Just as with your relationships trust is essential, in using the Law of Attraction trust is also essential.

Remember that relationships are mirrors and that what we see is often our own reflection in someone else.
Every relationship you have right now is teaching you something. This is especially important with those frustrating and hard relationships.

Often you dont have to spend a lot of money to say thank you for being you you just have to do something that will touch someones heart.

Whenever we come across the term research chemicals, the adjectives that instantly come to our mind are hazardous, dangerous and harmful etc. It is natural for common man who is not professionally engaged with chemical science.

Camfetamine, Methiopropamine, Methoxetamine, 6-apb powder and Benzo Fury etc are commonly known and widely used research chemicals. Among these, Camfetamine and Methiopropamine (Class B chemical) are more in demand by the laboratories and industries.
Camfetamine is termed as N-methyl-3-phenyl-norbornan-2-amine. It is the analogue of in-famous Fencamfamine. At the moment, it is available only at leading online research chemicals stores. Many scientists are keen to use it to analyze it chemical and physical properties. Methiopropamine, also known as MPA, is thiophene-based analog of methamphetamine. It is chemically written as N-methyl-1-(thiophen-2-yl) propan-2-amine. It came into existence in 1942. It is almost similar to Methamphetamine. It became popular among the youngsters with the nick names of Whiz, Speed, Phet and Billy. Its sales in UK was allowed in December 2010. Just after its introduction, it gained popularity among the masses as recreational drug but very soon it was turned down because of its specific side effects as well as almost no interest of pharmaceutical industry.
However, some wasted social interests are also engaged in sourcing these to serve their unsocial purposes. Therefore, you need to be very cautious while buying it. To be on safer side, you must have legal reason and permission to source and use it. Any deviation in nature of declared usage may also land you behind the bars. If the selected source doesnt have AIRCR certification for selling Camfetamine, do not deal with it even if you are getting financial benefit.
Although suppliers or distributors of chemicals are already watchful while selling these chemicals but primary responsibility comes to the user.

To buy Methiopropamine or camfetamine is not an easy task if you are buying these chemicals legally. You need to furnish lot of documents. But if you have valid reason to use these chemicals, Government recognized agencies may supply these up to your end.
The tragic death of a family member brings pain and suffering to the loved ones he or she has left behind. What makes it worse is when you lose someone who is the sole bread earner of the family. These can be even more shocking and disturbing; both on emotional and financial ground. While you and your family are emotionally coping, you also have to face the throbbing reality of a possibly depressing financial future.
Amidst your sufferings, the most accountable member of the family must start picking up the pieces and make some practical decisions for everyone’s future. One of the first things that should be attended to is the filing of damage claims for the wrongful death of your loved one. The legal procedure ahead is not easy and you have to employ the services of a capable wrongful death attorney. Hiring the professional services of a qualified attorney is your first step in getting the legal relief that your family deserves.
It is vital that the most responsible member of the family should take the lead in their legal chase for compensatory claims. It is significant that you consider the important aspects and steps in wrongful death cases. Even if there is just a chance that your family would be following through with a court case, you must get in touch with a wrongful death attorney. There are a lot of statutes of limitations that should to be adhered to and your professional can help with any filings. Regard this even if you are not positive you will bring a suit.
In general, while filing a wrongful death lawsuit for the premature and accidental death of a family member, you call for the help of a special kind of attorneys known as wrongful death attorneys. These lawyers will represent you in proving that the death of a loved one was caused chiefly by the neglect of the person or establishment.
The wrongful death case is usually much different and more intricate than a lawsuit for normal negligence. These cases are filed by counsel on behalf of a surviving member or a dependent of the family who has suffered material loss and emotional pain because of the awful wrongful death. You have to remember that every state have their own set of rules and laws governing these lawsuits, although most of them are similar on intent in many phases.
The law of attraction has been around for years but maybe you’ve just become aware of its popularity and could be wondering how to incorporate it’s principles into your life.
In order to correctly apply this law one must first understand what the Law of Attraction means and what it’s direct principles are. Lucky for you they’re pretty simple and easy to understand. The first thing that you learn from the Law of Attraction is that -Negative attracts negative and positive attracts positive-. It also states that the Universe (God, Most High, etc.) can understand our subconscious mind and presents things according to the way that we think. Here are some real simple strategies from the Law of Attraction that will turn in joy, happiness and positive rewards: 1.Always show gratitude – For you to apply the Law of Attraction on a continuous basis, you have to always give thanks. No matter what we must profess thanks for everything that we have up to this point in life. In order to be rewarded with positive things you have to sincerely practice gratitude on a continuous basis. A great way to practice gratitude on a daily basis is to give thanks every morning when we rise and at night before going to bed each day. Our subconscious mind is most receptive during these times of the day providing better results of the Law of Attraction. Predicating gratitude reminds us of all of the good things that we have in life and keeps us humble. 2.Dodge Negative Feelings and Thoughts – Like most people your life is stress filled and extremely hectic at times so it’s easy for you to become negative and frustrated about the situation and issues you’re in. The principles of the Law of Attraction teach us to redirect those feelings immediately by simply thinking about something that makes us feel good like a song or person. Don’t forget that negative attracts negative and positive attracts positive. Because of this we must practice focusing on positive things and not the negative. Focusing on the negative will only attract more negative into your existence. For example, if you feel over weight, instead of thinking about how much you hate the way you look, think about how you would look at your perfect weight. There are people all around the world who live a positive existence; those are the kind of people that you must imitate. 3.Speak What You Want – According to the Law of Attraction, you can speak things into existence. Meaning that if you request it, it will be given to you. Do you want a successful business, love, children, financial freedom? You can have any of these things, you just have to request it through your subconscious. For instance, if you’d like wealth brought into your existence, you must truly picture yourself with wealth in your life. Imagine how happy you would be, the smile on your face while living the good life of wealth. Remember to be sincere and really see what it is that you want to exist in your life. Only real positive energy will attract more positive things. Our subconscious is a powerful tool and the Law of Attraction proves that to us. If used correctly it can provide us with all of our heart’s desires. Apply the principles of the Law of Attraction with an open heart and your life will be rewarded with many positive things.
I can sleep with her, marry her, take care of her, but love thats something else,” said Tony, a married man in his late forties. “Guys dont like to talk about love. They dont know what to say. Of course guys do love. But they express it differently.” Despite this fact, most women do not feel happy unless they hear those golden words, I love you. Men need to hear them as well. And yet, as much as men want love, many fight it to the last minute. Love can make men feel vulnerable, childlike, and unable to do whats expected of us, especially those who believe theyre functioning in a dog eat dog world.
Different types of men express their love differently. In fact, love means different things to a man, at different times in his life. A woman needs to be alert to who the man she is with is, and what love means to him. Although most women wait to hear the golden words, “I Love You,” there are many different ways that men use to express what they are feeling.
The first way is simply by saying “I Love You.”
Actually, saying these words is a huge step for some men. It means a lot more than simply expressing a feeling. For some it feels like a life commitment, for others it is fraught with danger.
“When I say I love you,” said Steve, “I feel like Im taking my life in my hands and giving it to her. Its scary. Ive got to really trust her and know she wont throw my love away in order to actually say the words to her.” In this case the fear of rejection comes up strongly. Rejection is enormously painful for most men, and saying “I Love You”, can be an invitation to be hurt. Most men must feel very secure in the relationship and in the womans feelings for him, before hell dare say those words. For others, saying “I love you,” means, Im offering a commitment. Im going to be here to do things for you.
For many men, love is expressed through action, so these words are a promise of what is to follow. Simply by saying these words they feel they are agreeing to be there to give to support her. If they dont do it, theyll feel like a heel.
For others, the words means, Im not leaving, or Ill always be faithful. This can be very scary for some men. They feel the words themselves are a promise, and if the promise is broken, they will suffer as well.
However, there is another type of man, The Lovers, Dreamers and Peter Pans, who enjoy falling in love and letting the world know it. These men will say “I Love You” easily.
There are many different motives behind their words though.
Some say it to get a woman to make love with him, others to enter into a romantic fantasy, some to feel as though they are the great lover of all time. By saying these words, others seem to be offering the woman the world ( that they have no intention of giving.)
Others say it just for the sheer pleasure of seeing how good it makes the woman feel, and how powerful this makes him feel.
Legal services can become a necessity at times. If you think that a basic or cheap service would suffice for the job, you could be mistaken. For example, you may need the help of a vocational expert to determine the effects on work capability after an accident. You may need to use the service of a cost consultant to draft the bill of costs, i.e. the assessment of legal costs for litigation.
Legal services ensure the proper resolution of the issue at hand without hassles. It is, therefore, important to choose the right one. After all, the outcome of the dispute may have greater impact on your life than you realise. How do you choose the right legal services? Here are some tips to help.
*Opt for the service that offers the necessary ones for your purpose.
*Try to find as much information about the services as possible.
*Do not choose based on advertisements.
*Check the credentials of the people working for the service.
*Qualification and certification matter in this regard.
*Experience in the field of legal services is also necessary.
*Client testimonials could help you find whether the service was of help to others.
The question is how to locate a good service. Getting a referral from a family member or friend is perhaps the best way to locate the right UK legal services. If someone has used the services of a particular company and found them satisfactory, this is a good start point for making your choice. However, make sure that the person making the recommendation needed a similar service to you, or your experience could be completely different.
If this is not a possibility, do not worry. You have another fast and effective way to find a legal service – online resources. Just use the Internet to find the services that could suit your purpose. Keep in mind the points above before you contact the service for an initial consultation.
An initial consultation with the company of your choice could help you understand whether using their services would be a good decision. During this, enquire how their service could best fit your requirements, who would be working on the task, how they approach the matter, etc. Ask about any areas you have doubts.
If you are satisfied with this, ask about the charges for the specific services you would require, the mode, method and time of payment.

Elder law may be a legal term that you are not familiar with. That would not be surprising as it is a relatively new term that first came into circulation in the early 2000’s. It describes an area of the law that deals with issues that affect the aging population. Examples of these issues include health care, estate planning, employment discrimination, receipt of benefits, and planning for incapacity or mental incompetence.
A lawyer who works in the field of elder law has extensive knowledge about the needs of the aging population and would understand the unique challenges that face senior citizens. An attorney would be well-versed in various physical, mental, and social issues that accompany the process of getting older. Elder law covers many areas such as advocating for seniors, counseling, and planning for future needs. These attorneys stay informed about the resources that are available to their clients, such as being aware of the networks of professionals in a given area who serve and support elderly individuals.
Health and personal care planning are a part of what elder law deals with. If you would like to have a living will, or would like to speak to someone about what is involved in choosing a person to be your power of attorney, this is the professional you need to get in contact with.
When it comes to your health, you never know what the future might bring. Before you find yourself facing a serious illness that impacts your ability to take care of yourself, discuss your long-term care options with an elder law practitioner. Ask questions about what is involved in guardianship and the rights that you would have if you were to move into a nursing home.
Will and trust planning are topics that an attorney can help clients with. This is a subject everyone needs to think about, not just the elderly. Start planning for yourself and your loved ones when you are in the best of health.
If you are interested in hiring a lawyer who specializes in issues related to seniors, be sure to ask how many years they have been in practice. Inquire about what percentage of the lawyer’s practice is committed to this area of the law. Does the person further specialize in a specific area, such as nursing home claims or estate planning?
Figure out your plan for the future now. Discuss things with your spouse and your family so that everyone is on the same page when big decisions need to be made. Most importantly, think about your needs without being swayed by the opinions of others.
Start planning now, contact an attorney of elder law. Grand Rapids area residents, click here: http://www.davidcarrierlaw.com.
