Rachida - Shame on her muslim family?
Former French justice minister Rachida Dati has brought shame to her harsh Muslim family by becoming a single mother.
The story begins when Ms. Dati got pregnant outside of a marriage. That was the day her father said: “We have all been dishonored by this after all we are Muslims”.
“Mr. Dati, brother, 42: 'For two months my father repeated that it was over, and he no longer wanted to see her.’
She then triggered a media frenzy by refusing to reveal the father's identity. Ms. Dati’s book on the subject will be published October 7th.
This whole frenzy is about a women who does not want to get married and wants to be independent and should be left alone. Just because she got pregnant out of wedlock doesn't mean she should suffer by marrying somebody she does not want to. I am not saying that it is okay for everybody to get pregnant out of wedlock but those who have legitimate reason for not getting married should be left alone to make their own decisions.
She alone as an independent and mentally capable person is responsible for her actions and choices.
Let me give you a opinion from someone who's living in France. Rachida Dati never claimed that she's a muslim or having any relations with this religion. She's part of an anti-muslim and anti-immigration party. And she was (for the french governement) an anti-discrimination bond. What's is mean that Sarkozy give her the Justice Ministry and in exchange she just have to behave as a french non-muslim person and to prove that arabs people who don't practice Islam are the ones who can success in this french republic.
She was always saying (and wrote a book on it) that she was forced to get married with someone elder and choosen by her parents when she was 19. And that she divorced..... and she was always saying that it was the fault of islamic traditions. But problem is that nobody here considered her as muslim or arab. Just as careerist girl who wanna be on the top... without competencies. The ones who were stuggle against her are not muslims, but from the Union of the Judiciary, because they saw someone who destroyed the judiciary achievement in France. Rachida Dati was revoked because a controversy about very expensive clothes she was used to wear.
About the baby... I think that it would be the same , even if she wasn't from a muslim family, and everyone thought that she prefered don't tell the father name for supply the controversy and be on the first page. It's not a matter of single or not , it's a matter of integrity and of honesty.... when you're the Minister of Justice, there is a standing to respect.
The brother who said that Rachida brought shame on her family by having an out-of-wedlock child is a convicted drug dealer. So clearly she's not the only no-good in her family. Reminds me of that hadeeth "beware of the greenery growing on the dung-hill", explained as a pretty woman from a bad family.

But I can just as a citizen have a very critical look to her political work and her actions as a "arabic bond" in the French governement. She was calamitous
"I am not saying that it is okay for everybody to get pregnant out of wedlock but those who have legitimate reason for not getting married should be left alone to make their own decisions."
That seems like trying to put words in peoples mouths.
The fact that she got pregnant means she has legitimate reasons to get married before then.
That she didn't was her own choice, but the message the conclusion presents seems to be misguided and wrong to me.

Every sheep hangs by his own feet - we answerfor our doings, good or bad.
Everything is the will of Allah - Rachida was meant to bear this child for a reason only Allah knows.
We all pay for the sins of our forfathers.....Rachida is paying for the sins of her family as her child will pay for the sins of his/her family (I did not read the gossip to to discover whether this is a boy child or a female child)
May Allah bless Rachida, the child, the childs' father and the whole family....
(this is typically french!)
If I had a daughter and she went off and had illicit sex and got pregnant I would feel ashamed of her - it is to be expected from a father and mother who want their children to be good and uphold an acceptable level of morality. However, if the parents show any duality in their acceptance of one act of shame over another then that is their matter - but at least they have some morality!
Yes! she shouldn't be forced to get married because she doesn't want to marry the sperm donor. But then perhaps she should have thought of that before any relations with the person - foolish woman. Her act of open adultery is to be condemned and of that we should be in no doubt - the act of adultery is repulsive and worthy of being hated. However her humanity is to be respected. Rather than waste our time and curse or vilify her we ought to make du'a that Allah gives her the blessings of repentance.
