[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]
Tell her to convert immediately, or make the husband gift the property to her while he's alive. The latter is actually a better deal since the wife doesn't get all the inheritance anyway.  But there are no limitations on gifts. That way she gets everything as a gift, rather than a little bit when he dies.[/quote]

1.  She'd rather die than convert to Islam, and

2.  If the latter were a viable option I think she would have taken it already.[/quote]

Not necessarily, she is probably not thinking about it pragmatically.  She should convert and be a bad Muslim.  [/quote]

She has something called personal integrity, and she's a devout Christian.  Some people don't believe in lying for personal gain.[/quote]

If she were that devout she wouldn't be married to a Muslim.[/quote]

LOL NEITHER of them are Muslim!!  They are both Christian and are bound by Islamic inheritance laws because that is the law of the land.  That's the fun of being a citizen of a Muslim country, people!  And his family isn't very nice, so they probably will take what little that he has when he dies.  And they don't have a ton of money to just up and move somewhere else.[/quote]

If he is Christian living in an Arab country, then the applicable law is not Islamic inheritance law, but the church inheritance law.  In Arab countries, matters of personal status are dealt with by the religious institutions.  Most unfortunately, in these countries Islamic inheritance laws are so deeply embedded that all of the church inheritance laws look just like the Islamic inheritance laws.

If he cares about his wife he would sell their house if he owns it and would rent.  The money from the sale would be used to buy jewelry for her--that is hers to keep, no one can touch it.  Or he could send it to bank overseas in her name.  No one would be able to touch that either. But he is likely is brainwashed into the system and no doubt has deluded himself that his brothers will support his wife if he dies so sees no need to do anything.  I have to agree, she should get a job and start saving.[/quote]
