French Court Overturns Muslim Marriage Annulment

It’s about time; religionists think they have all the answers on life and death. This is culture trumping religion, as it should be.

It wasn’t long ago that a bride’s virginity, and marriage itself was taken seriously in Christendom. Now, marxists only laud marriage when it applies to homosexuals. It seems that both the Christian and the Muslim are strangers in marxist Europe.

I disagree.

Lying about something like this IS grounds for dismissal; ever heard of Pater Familias? THAT is a cultural norm which is now disqualified and should be reinstated.

I don’t know…but in this case I’m with the original verdict. Lying about something, which is of a fundamental value for one of the prospective spouses should be a reason for annulment, regardless of a potential religious or cultural significance. The problem is in the act of lying, not in the subject of lying.

And it seems that the couple preferred annulment to seeking divorce - that they agreed to this method of solving their problem.

In almost all cultures, lying about important things before the marriage is grounds for annulment. If virginity is important, then lying about virginity is grounds for annulment.

In all cultures and religions, marriage is a contract between 2 parties. I most cultures the contract is between the husband and wife. In Islam, the contract is between husband and wife’s male guardians.

Contracts made under fraud and falsifications can almost always be voided in all cultures and legal systems.

Was this creep also a virgin, or does raping white French women not count? The real shame here is that the court does not have the power to force this despicable pair to stay together.

I would tend to agree with EW. It’s a case of presenting yourself falsely and forming a contract under false appearances, as being something or someone which you are not. That “something” could be anything at all. It is irrelevant. A contract (in this case marriage) that is falsely made is invalid. It was not made in good faith.

What counts, folks, is not OUR opinion of whether the bride’s deception is grounds for divorce, but what UNDER FRENCH LAW is considered grounds. The French court has, in this case, held its own against the cultural mores of the alien invaders. We should all applaud.
