On the same link, a visitor posted this following very interesting comment:
<b>Excellent. It does miss the point of all the "widows" who's husbands are not dead yet. In the USA deffinitions have changed and laws too so that any woman can be cast out of a marriage through no fault of hers. They call it No Fault Divorce. Religious beliefs on these matters are not at all honored. Compliance with current secular only customs alone are honored. So, there again, the wives/widows are all alone, marginialized. And it is the Jewish and Christian divorcees that are persecuted by their own the worst. Teaching them they are to believe their groups Scriptures they then shove them off into Singles groups which teach exactly the opposite. Either way, they are damned. It is no better but for the possibliites of longer lives, segragated. Or complete renumciations of their faiths. Again, damned of they do, and damned if they don't. Instead of these women having to give their children into early marriages they give them into foster care where more often then not, abuse occurs too. It is not better. In fact, which is worse, a long suffering death, or early death, to force them to renounce their faiths? How is making so many women live on food banks, clothing bankds, selling their reputations to live on SSI/SSD, lifelong sentances of therapy, and/or giving up their children into foster care better?

However, I just would like to note something, the visitor said in Judaism and Christianity, actually, I m not into making this type of comparison. If I do so, as if I say that Allah Changed His laws, may Allah Forgive me, Allah Changes no laws. Allah's laws are the same since Adam till Mohammad blessing and peace be upon all of them. Mankind is the one who gave himself the liberty to distort Allah's laws for his own interest. I mean what kind of benefit a family attains of depriving the widow her rights or subject her to such disgrace. La hawala wala qowata ila billah.
