هيئة العلماء المسلمين تطالب بالعودة عن تسجيل الزواج المدني: فيه خرق فاضح للدستور وتحد للاسلام

Read this story in English W460

رأت هيئة العلماء المسلمين ان قرار تسجيل اول زواج مدني في لبنان هو "خرق فاضح وواضح للدستور"، داعية الى "التصدي لهذا القرار" والعودة عنه لما فيه من "تحد للاسلام والمسلمين".

وفي بيان اصدرته الهيئة، الجمعة، اعتبرت ان القرار الصادر عن وزير الداخلية في حكومة تصريف الاعمال مروان شربل والقاضي بتسجيل أول عقد زواج مدني في لبنان "خرقاً واضحاً وفاضحاً للدستور ولقوانين قيد الأحوال الشخصية وقانون المحاكم الشرعية وسائر القوانين ذات الصلة".

كما لفتت الى ان "الجزم بأن القانون المطبق على العاقدين مدنيا هو القانون الذي اختاراه أي القانون الفرنسي لا الشريعة الإسلامية"، ما يشكل "تحدياً صارخاً للاسلام والمسلمين وللنظام العام".

يُذكر ان شربل وقّع، في 25 نيسان الفائت، عقد الزواج المدني لخلود سكرية ونضال درويش للمرة الأولى. وكانت قد أنجزت الهيئة الإستشارية العليا في وزارة العدل في الثالث من نيسان ردها على الأسئلة القانونية التي طرحتها عليها وزارة الداخلية في شأن تطبيق عقد الزواج المدني على الأراضي اللبنانية. وأتت هذه الأجوبة مؤيدة لمضمون استشارتها السابقة حول جواز إجراء الزواج المدني في لبنان.

ودعت الهيئة في بيانها الوزير شربل إلى "العودة عن قراره الباطل فورا لما يشكله من تهديد ناجز للأسرة المسلمة، ولما

تضمنه من تناقض قانوني لاعتبار الانتماء الديني من جهة".

كما دعت رئيس حكومة تصريف الاعمال نجيب ميقاتي والقيادات الروحية الإسلامية خصوصاً واللبنانية عموماً إلى "التصدي الفوري لهذا القرار الخطير والطعن به لدى المرجع القضائي، ودعوة كل الأئمة والخطباء في لبنان إلى تحضير الرأي العام في خطب الجمعة إلى مخاطر القرار وتهيئتهم لأي تحرك عاجل".

وفي 2012/11/10 تزوج خلود سكرية ونضال درويش مدنيا. و هما الثنائي الأول اللذان شرعا الزواج المدني في لبنان على الرغم من الإختلاف العميق حول هذا الموضع لدى مختلف الأديان.

وأيد كل من رئيس الجمهورية ميشال سليمان والحكومة السابق سعد الحريري هذا الطرح فيما تحفظت عليه كل المراجع الرسمية والدينية علنا وضمنا وأصدر مفتي الجمهورية محمد رشيد قباني فتوى تحرمه.

to all you so called Scholars, religion is a personal thing that you can not impose on others ,..if a person choose to get married in civil ceremony then it is his/her right.

I wouldn't call them retards. I'd just state that they are living in the 15th Century whilst the rest of the country is well into the 21st.

i repeat: religious people mixing with politics are just retards... whatever their religion and YES i am a racist against any religion that take people backwards...
the country is in such a state precisely because all the religious people maintain their sheep under their control and manipulate them by making them fear the other religions... so yes, religions are the root of all the lebanese problems....

Peace- I think rodzil called you a racist because you use the word "muslim" instead of "religious figures" in your comment.
rodzil- the article is about muslim scholars rejecting civil marriage and that’s why he made his comments. Peace hates all religious figures and religions equally. And no peace and I are not the same person (It’s pretty much a guarantee that someone will state that).

correct lebanonfirst: the article is about muslim scholars, i would have said the same thing if it was about christian scholars...

and to make it clear i believe in God but not in religions!

these scholars are wrong, so are Christian priests, and the like.
religion is not by force, it is by conviction.
this is also where sincere politicians are known: from all of our politicians, only the president Michel Suleiman and Saad Hariri voiced their support loud and clear. all the others caved in.

I agree with the1Phoenix. My dad used to say the khouri opened his dkan. All these dkakeen are still open and pray on simple people's minds and emotions to stay alive. These dkakeen are very profitable where the cost of material is zero (god and angles and other farry stuff) so it is all profits!!! They are smart and will not allow these dkan to be closed.

The state has no business in your bedroom. If people want to get married civil, the state shouldn't have the right to stop you.

Missing samiam 16:57 ,2013 أيار 03

none of the clergy in Lebanon really want civil marriage because they know that they would lose their influence over the everyday affairs of the citizens of Lebanon. Actually, that would be much better off for us since political differences seem to be religious in nature also.

A man and a woman who love each other are the only conditions to marriage. Religion or politics have no right to object or interfer to such a union! This is God's commandent!

A state that forbids it's citizens from marriage based on their religion is no state at all!

Missing peace 18:00 ,2013 أيار 03

and especilally in islam before those "scholars" took over the religion to their own profit, marriage was very very simple! it takes only two witnesses and the vows of the groom and bride and they are married! no need for all these religious bling bling....

Thumb geha 08:09 ,2013 أيار 04

the problem is not with the concept. the problem is:
- for clerics of all confessions (actually all of them came out against civil marriage, whether they be sunnis, shia, maronite,...): with civil marriage, they lose mainly a large income, as well as control over people. they can no more have a say in divorce,...
- for politicians of all sides: they exist because of sectarianism. most of them would not be elected as they are sectarian to the root.
actually this is the first step to abolish sectarianism and eliminate all those that profess it.

I can't wait for the day Lebanon signs gay marriage into law to hear what these people have to say. And believe me when I say, the day will come, some day in the future, but it will come.

Also, I'd like to remind everyone that the UK allowed civil marriages in 1875, just so you how far back we are.

I assume these are Sunni scholars. I therefore also assume they are as corrupt as the rest of the Sunni establishment which cooperates in the confessional system that condemns Muslims to inferior status (last election: March 8 got 55% of the vote and 45% of the seats, March 14 got 45% of the vote and 55% of the seats). I won's speculate about this Sunni establishment's status as Muslims assuming that Noam Chomsky and others are right to say that Shias in Lebanon are, on their own, more than half the population, which would make them the special target of the racism of the confessional arrangement.

Missing maroun 10:29 ,2013 أيار 04

the Shia are not half the population..you would find only around 55% Christians and Sunni voted while 90% of shia voted

Dear "Scholars"

Your days are numbered. A secular Lebanon will arise from the ashes that you have helped instigate. You WILL be held accountable. You WILL pay the consequences in a secular court of law very soon. Good luck in jail one day, you terrible backwards people who leech off the state.

The wahabiits and salafists control even the muslim schoolars in Lebanon nowadays. Every moderate muslim and christian knows that religion does not come by force.
Just look at thte saudis that go abroad. They totally stop abiding by their religious rules. Same when it comes to the iranians.
Everything put on people by force is doomed to lose.

If your religion is strong, it will survive not being "forced" into peoples lifes.
