You can't take the land with you

 

‘You are not going to take any treaty land,’ says AFN national chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak on Alberta’s separation from Canada.

Marriage between cousins

 Marriage between cousins is permitted in Islam, but it's not compulsory. 

My mother came from a medical background. Even before she finished her education, she didn't like the idea of marrying cousins. Although we were young when she shared her thoughts, they also influenced our perspective. 

We see cousins as if they are our own brothers and sisters. We are never hesitant to talk to them or to stay in contact. On their part, they felt the same way. 

If any relative ever mentions this type of marriage to my mom, she immediately dismisses the idea, which never even comes up for us to consider. 

I understand that in some families or countries, this has become a required practice. They believe their girls should stay within the family. It is a terrible custom; in the name of religion, we shouldn't support such marriages. If anyone falls in love with someone, then that is a different situation.

Eid preparation

When you don’t have time and energy to make something at home

There are some thoughts and preparations are only for woman. Like Eid. What will be food menu, for that what are the things we have to buy, from where I can get the best in low price, from when I have to start preparation? When I have to complete what? What will be the full day program? Eid Dress for kid and ….. Cleaning home, decorate a bit etc. Why boys don’t join with woman to solve all of these?

May be I won’t do any of these… physically I am really not OK. But will try my best.
