#2 The ruling says a groom does not have to pay his former wife the $25,000 he promised as part of a Muslim pre-marriage agreement -

And this is different from a prenuptial agreement . . .how?

There's not enough detail in the story to tell how the court came up with its conclusion, but I've a feeling it'll be flipped on appeal.

#3 A pre-nup is a legal contract drawn up by lawyers. This sounds like a religious document with no legal standing.

Personally I don't want Muslim religious documents being upheld in civil courts.

#4 Personally I don't want Muslim religious documents being upheld in civil courts.

End of story. Use our existing legal system to enforce contractual agreements or expect us to piss on your effing shari'a law whenever you bring it up.

#5 If it is a contract, it should be binding. Shouldn't matter whether it is Muslim, other religious, or civil. Even verbal contracts, with no lawyers involved, can be held binding. The key is whether both parties to the contract were capable of making an informed consent. THAT would be grounds for excluding such a Muslim contract.

#6 How about 1/2 of everything? It's the American way.
