Right, so what does that have to do with Muslims in Canada?
How many of them are doing child marriages?
Well, yes, we know the general process of how it can be done so.
But you'd have to explain in the Canadian context how that would actually transpire.
Its kind of the topic of the thread isnt it? Importing values/traditions that arent really compatible with canadian values, ie mass public prayer, child marriages, killing infidels, etc.
Actually this isn't true.
There are religions where they don't worship a "God" like the monotheistic semitic religions do.
Shintoism is an example.
Yes, they can preach and proselytize. It is freedom of speech.
It is also your freedom to ignore them.
No, they don't compel them.
Example: Butler1000 who doesn't follow the religion he was raised in and is completely free to do what he wants.
But that is why I asked.
You need to show 2 things: a) Do the majority of Muslims the world over practice child marriage and support child marriage? The answer is no. b) Do they come here and do child marraiges? The answer is no, again.
So there is no importation of anything and your statement is a flat out lie.
...In a different part of the world.
I asked about Canada.
By the way, I asked ChatGPT for it and here is what it gave me:
Quit dodging the question, would you be okay with Sharia law or not???!!!!
No, I wouldn't be okay with any religion based law.
Why would I be okay with it?
I hope they won't...Not even Sharia but..
Majority Muslim laws
-Homosexuals are illegal
-Prostitution is illegal
-you are probably able to practice another religion but might be considered an infidel
-Death Penalty (if it's justified I'm down with it)
-you can't hold hands with a lady if you're not married to her.
-honor killings are ok.
most important part...
you won't see this during summer.
I would say there's .01% chance it's happening...
but that's not the question...are you ok with it if it happens?
Yes, I am OK if Canada becomes a Muslim majority state.
We have charter and protections.
Don't forget child marriages.I hope they won't...Not even Sharia but..

Yemen has no minimum legal age of marriage, which effectively means child marriages are not prohibited by law.
Despite attempts by human rights advocates and some government officials to set a legal minimum age of 18, powerful conservative members of the parliament have repeatedly blocked these efforts, arguing that setting an age limit is "un-Islamic" and undermines family values.
Key facts about child marriage in Yemen:
- No Legal Age Limit: Yemen is one of the few countries in the world without a national law specifying a minimum age for marriage.
- Prevalence: As of 2024 data analysis, approximately 30% of girls in Yemen are married before the age of 18, and 7% are married before the age of 15. The ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis have exacerbated poverty, leading families to resort to child marriage as a coping mechanism, and the rates may now be even higher.
- Legal Protections: While Yemen has ratified international agreements like the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which recommends a minimum marriage age of 18, these international commitments have not been fully implemented into national law.
But I guess since its only 30% and not a majority, it isn't an issue according to Shaq
The Muslim Personal Status Law of 1991 refers to a significant family law reform in Sudan that codified matters of marriage, divorce, custody, maintenance, and inheritance under Islamic principles. A key aspect of this law is its political significance, representing the shift of family law's regulation from religious clergy to the Islamist state. It includes provisions regarding betrothal, dowry, spousal rights, guardianship, and divorce, while also setting specific rules, such as a minimum marriage age of 10 for girls with judicial permission.
Key provisions and characteristics
- Scope: The law covers a wide range of family matters, including marriage, betrothal, divorce, custody, maintenance, inheritance, and guardianship.
- Political context: Its enactment in 1991 was a pivotal moment, as it marked the formal codification of family law by the state, transitioning it from the religious sphere to a political one.
- Islamic legal basis: The law is based on Islamic Sharia principles, with the Hanafi school of jurisprudence being followed in cases not explicitly covered.
- Marriage and betrothal: It details the pillars of marriage, validity conditions, dowry, and rights and obligations of spouses.
- Divorce and custody: The law establishes different methods of divorce, including repudiation by the husband and dissolution by the court, as well as provisions for child custody.
- Maintenance and inheritance: It sets rules for maintenance payments and inheritance, noting that inheritance shares for daughters are typically half of what sons receive.
- Guardianship: The law outlines guardianship rules for marriage, minors, and property, and specifies the rights of guardians.
- Specific controversial articles: A notable article (Article 40) allows girls to marry at age 10 with a judge's consent, though there have been reports of younger marriages occurring without this requirement. Other articles have been criticized for placing restrictions on women's rights, such as requiring a husband's permission for them to work or travel.
Impact and significance
- Legal and social impact: The law has had a profound impact on the lives of Muslim families in Sudan, establishing a standardized legal framework for personal and family matters.
- Controversy and reform: While it provided a codified legal structure, it has also been the subject of significant debate and criticism, particularly concerning its provisions on women's rights and gender equality. The law has been a subject of ongoing reform efforts in Sudan.
Its not Muslims that you need to worry about in that regard.
