25 COURTSHIP

groups.

Major Moro groups expect the man to court and marry a woman who comes from the same status
of his family.

28 MARRIAGE
Arranged Marriage is mainly due to prestige and the parents’ wish to enable their children to enjoy
a better social and economic life.

29 MARRIAGE
Dowry.
A bridge-gift is an essential part of any proposed union.
It is meant to compensate the bride’s family for the loss of a woman-member and to reimburse
the cost of her upbringing.
30 POLYGAMY
“Marry of the women that please you, two, three or four, but if you fear that you will not be able to
deal justly with them, then only one”
- Allah
31 POLYGAMY
Polygamy was permitted as long as his wealth was sufficient to provide for more than one.

32 POLYGAMY
They believe that such arrangement is beneficial, for it means that there are extra hands for house
and field works.

33 DIVORCE
Divorce is allowed in Islam but not encourage nor to be taken lightly.

Divorce is also possible on the grounds of incompatibility, sterility and fidelity.

34 DIVORCE
An unfaithful wife caught in the act may be simply killed on the spot or the bride price is returned.

It is not allowed for the woman to force her husband to divorce without any misdeed or corruption
on his part.

35 INHERITANCE
Islam gave women the right to own property and inherit from relatives, which was a revolutionary
concept in the seventh century. Whether a woman is a wife, mother, sister, or daughter, she
receives a certain share of her deceased relative’s property.

36 INHERITANCE
This share depends on her degree of relationship to the deceased and the number of heirs. While
many societies around the world denied women inheritance, Islam assured women this right,
illustrating the universal justice of Islam’s divine law.

37 INHERITANCE
In Islam, women are not obligated to earn or spend any money on housing, food, or general
expenses. If a woman is married, her husband must fully support her financially and if she’s not
married, that responsibility belongs to her closest male relative.

obligation to share her money with her husband or any other family members, although she may
choose to do so out of good will.
