Rishton ki hurmat ka tasawwur saami adyaan mein taqaabli jaa'iza
(UMT Lahore, 2020-11) Aqsa Yusuf
The Semitic religions, such as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, have given comprehensive regulations and a complete code of life. Therefore, there is a complete system and clear guidance regarding halal and haram, which mean legal and illegal. As Islam provides clear-cut directives in beliefs, worship, ethics, economy, relationships, and ways of life to guide people in life, similarly, Judaism has also given clear regulations in these fields to guide its followers. Islam teaches its followers not to marry forbidden men and women, and Judaism has also emphasized not marrying maharim men and women according to Jewish law. For example, in the case of women, mothers, daughters, sisters, nieces, etc., are forbidden for marriage in both religions. Similarly, maharim men and women are not allowed for marriage. Many forbidden men and women are similar in both religions regarding marriage law. This thesis describes forbidden relations for marriage in detail and explains the similarities and dissimilarities found in marriage laws within their religious literature. Lastly, it also emphasizes the need to review hurmat laws in marriage relationships in the light of religion, despite secular standards being exercised in modern societies.
