[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister in law is a Christian living in a Muslim country.  Her husband has MS and is dying, very very slowly.  She is infertile and never had children.  So when her husband dies at a young age, her in-laws will inherit most of his property thanks to Shariah law, because she never had children.  A woman who has a female child also has to forfeit a portion of her husband's assets if he dies.  Male siblings earn a larger share at their parents' death.

I'm not a huge fan of Islamic law.[/quote]

But that male child must support  not only his parents but his sister when he is an adult whereas the daughter has no such obligation. In the American scenario a wife may inherit husbands assets but when it runs out, too bad. In Islamic states, the wife must be cared for for life by her father or brother or uncle. [/quote]
It's demeaning to follow your male relatives around with your outstretched hand all your life.  Get a job and stop mooching. [/quote]

Technically it's correct that there are laws that say male relatives must support female relative.  But the laws are not proportional to the means of the males, not do they enforce a concept of style of life one is accustomed to.  So a male relative who is a billionaire could be compelled to pay support as little as $50 a month to a female relative. The required amounts are pretty much set at a level that would allow the woman to live at poverty level in a rent controlled tiny apartment.  [/quote]
