Assalamualaikum.... mind the English, it is Singaporean English.
If it is not too much to find out kesahihan Q2 & Q3... [Pak Aji, can U
verify this?],
because many of Muslim actually get their children marry off once they know
that their daughter is carrying an illegitimate child.
A question was asked to an Imam recently, which raised many other
questions. I would like to share them with you, as they are very important:
Question 1 : What is the correct thing to do when a girl becomes pregnant
outside of marriage?
Answer 1 : She should not marry anyone until the baby is born.
Question 2 : Assuming the father of the child wants to marry her, can he?
Answer 2 : No, he cannot marry her, until the baby is born.
Question 3 : Is the marriage valid if they did marry?
Answer 3 : No, the marriage contract is invalid. A Muslim cannot marry a
pregnant woman, even if he is the biological father.
Question 4 : If they married, what should they do now to correct it?
Answer 4 : They should separate. She should wait until it is confirm that
she is not pregnant. They can then marry, as this will be
now a legal marriage by Islamic law.
Question 5 : What if they don't correct it?
Answer 5 : They will still living in a relationship of Zina as the marriage
contract is not valid.
Question 6 : What are the rights of the child that was conceived outside
marriage?
Answer 6 : According to the scholars, the child is not the father by
Islamic law. Hence, the child cannot inherit from the
rights over the child. The child also has no rights over
the father.
Question 7 : If you say that the father is not the father by Islamic law,
does that mean he cannot be the mahram of his own
biological daughter?
Answer 7 : Yes, he cannot be her mahram.
Question 8 : A Muslim man and a Muslim (or Non-Muslim) woman decides to get
married after having lived together, how should they go
about it?
Answer 8 : They must separate immediately and the woman must wait for one
menstrual cycle (to prove she is not pregnant), before
they can enter into a marriage contract.
Question 9 : If I know someone that is in this situation, should I tell
them about what I have learnt or is it none of my
business?
Answer 9 : It is your Islamic duty to inform them, so they can rectify
their situation, otherwise all the children from that
relationship will be born outside an Islamic legal
marriage.
Please do not discard this hand out. This is a very serious matter, so I
urge you to understand it, discuss it further with a scholar if you are not
clear, or do not agree. Inform those that may be in this situation and pray
that you or your children should never be in such situations.
