Quote:
Saudi woman 'barred from marrying man who played musical instrument' 2 October 2018




The oud is an ancient Middle Eastern stringed instrument
A Saudi woman has reportedly lost a legal battle to marry the man of her choice after her family objected because he played a musical instrument.

Relatives of the woman, a bank manager, refused to allow her to wed the man, a teacher, saying his oud (lute) playing made them "religiously incompatible".

A lower court backed that view, and its verdict has now been confirmed at appeal, a lawyer and local media say.

Some people in the conservative Muslim state say music is "haram" (forbidden).
I must say that Saudi Arabia is not a "bad place" per se. Mr Trump's pragmatic statements recognizing that there are a few murders done by Princes but so there were in the Bible (King David, etc.) And we must noit forget that the Bible tells us to obey Princes.

Saudi laws reflect a time nearer to Christ and are thus "Holier" than the sectarian lies that pervade the US (no stoning of homers. no burning of witches, no work on the Sabbath, etc., not to mention those that permit the worship of false gods or blasphemy.)

The gap between Biblical Law and Saudi Law is simply a matter of their accepting Christ as their Savior - but the gulf between some of our "liberal laws" and Saudi laws are never going to be bridged.

So moving on we see that the headline is in fact quite reasonable in Christian terms.

The system is simple:

Men are responsible for women
Women cannot think in straight lines
Women may think they know what is best for them, but they cannot and do not.

And look at it this way: Assume your daughter wanted to marry some guitar-playing, ethnic, drug taking, Lothario with long-hair and democrat leanings... Is this "person" going to be a suitable sire to continue your family line?

No!

So what sort of person would you forbid your daughter marrying?

(I ask as I will then go find some suitable verses to support the more popular choices.)





“We must reassert that the essence of Christianity is the love of obedience to God’s Laws and that how that complete obedience is used or implemented does not concern us.”
