I’m amazed. Honestly, when brothers marry a woman of a different faith, have they ever thought of the consequences should the marriage failed especially when children are involved ? What faith will these kids be raised should the custody fall onto one who is not a muslim ? Please brothers before you make a decision to marry take time to ponder, afterall you are the head of your family and answerable to Allah (swt) on judgement day.

Pakistan court gives mother custody of British girl

Wed Nov 29, 7:49 AM ET
Justice Saqib Nisar of the High Court in the city of Lahore said the girl's father, Sajad Ahmed Rana, must hand her over in a week.
Police in Britain launched an investigation in August after the 12-year-old girl left her mother in the Western Isles of Scotland to travel to Lahore to be with her father.
"The respondent ... shall hand over the custody of the minor within seven days from now to some female official of the British High Commission," Nisar told the court, adding she could then be returned to her mother.
The girl, known by the Pakistani side of her family as Misbah Irum Ahmed Rana, had said she wanted to stay with her father.
When the order was announced the girl put her head on her father's shoulder and started to cry. She did not speak to reporters.
Initially, the judge ordered that she be handed over within four days, but the lawyer for Molly's father, Abdul Basit, requested more time to prepare a challenge in the Supreme Court.
"I'm very upset. I'm so depressed. I can't speak too much but what I want to say is that I'll go for an appeal," the father told Reuters.
A lawyer for the girl's mother, Louise Campbell, who is Molly's legal guardian, welcomed the judge's decision.
"I'm quite happy. I spoke to Louise on the phone and informed her of the verdict. She was also very happy," said the lawyer, Nahida Mehboob Elahi.
A representative of the British High Commission was also present in court.
Pakistan and Britain signed an agreement in 2003 under which police and judicial authorities in both countries help each other to resolve some 400 cases of disputes over children brought from Britain to Pakistan every year.
