I, like many of you, live in a Secular society rather than a Theocracy, where there are laws in place that may, or may not, converge with Islamic belief systems.
Whereas there is an obligation to obey these laws, providing that they are not in conflict with Sharia law.
My question is, if one, who is living in a secular society, is married under that society's Marriage Act or Legislation, was to marry a second time, without the benefit of Divorce under that Legislation, such is called Bigamy, a crime.
How then does a Muslim marry a second time without breaking the Law, even if they are separated from the first marriage but not Legaly Divorced.
Okay, my reasoning is obvious, but I do not know how much longer i can continue living alone without Adult company, when the only people that come to my home are children, my Daughter's friends.
I admit that there is a struggle with the personal moral aspect of this. But my Daughter does need Adult Female Guidance and example in her life.
Thank you for your input. It will be most apreciated.
