Salaam,
What does Islam say about alimony? I see in some countries that a ex husband or wife have to pay for a long time alimony. I think it's not fair. Some people make use of it in a wrong way.
There is an amount of money or its equivelant called mahr that the man is obliged to pay to the woman if they ever get divorced. You know this?
I know that. I also know Islam is the only true religion and most beautiful religion on the universeperfect religion. This mahr is just for both sexes..let me tell you this. But alimony is UNJUST. Alimony is oppression like everything else man made does to himself is to oppress himself and be false because he is so arrogant. Al-hamdolillah Allah (Subhanahu Wa Talaa) created hellfire....throw the disbelievers, the unjust the criminals in there. That is a just in itself that Allah created hellfire. Allah is just. His laws are just. We need to focus on worshiping Allah correctly instead of what we are doing now. Alimony HAVE NOTHING TO do with Islam, period and it need to be abolished. It is as bad as when in india or pakistani the women have to pay mahir for their men.
You are right. Thats why i dont find nothing on the quran that support alimony. I see many men in a situation that they need to pay alimony for many years. But i hear that even imams or mosques are supporting alimony because we need to follow the law of the country that we are living in. Also lying in the islam is haram. We cannot hide the marriage from the state that we are living in. When you register yourself they ask your material status. I see also that marriage are done in mosque illigal. So i dont know what is the right thing to do.
There is an amount of money or its equivelant called mahr that the man is obliged to pay to the woman if they ever get divorced. You know this?
As far as I know the mahr is not directly given at the nikah but promised to be given if a divorce ever occures. This is similar to alimony. Actually I am not trying to justify the alimony in place of mahr but just as in many occasions, many secular laws have the same purpose of sharia.
So what i understand is that islam dont accept alimony as its implemented in the west. Even after the iddah the husband is not responsible for his ex-wife...is this correct?
Yes, you have understood it correctly
But in the west if you marry you cant escape from the alimony. Then we have to marry in a illegal way? I think that is also haram in the islam. We cant say we marry but don't tell nothing to the government.
Please brother read this link.You are aware that the government is a false God, right? That is what the government. Show me in Islam that says you need to obey false God. Last I checked we are ordered to obey Allah (Subhannu Wa Talaa) and his prophet and not false God. If you still believe we should obey false God then do not get married in West. Is that hard to live in Muslim country and say F this dunaya I am focusing on akhira? What would you do if dajjal comes in then? Would you say, "Oh! I know he is the dajjal but I am hungry and thirsty I will still follow him?" Or will you starve and die from thirst if you must and be steady fast?
Remember...you need to think about the welfare if you have a future son on this matter. You will be his role model. What would you teach him at this point?
By the way? If it is Haraam I will accept it is haram and believe it is haram and take the punishment in the akhira. When Allah asks me why did you lie to the government? I will answer him, "Oh Allah! I did not want to obey the false God and I only wanted to obey you."

Who said that the government is a false God? I hear this for the first time. We need to follow the law of the country that we live in as long its not against the teachings of the islam.
But in the west if you marry you cant escape from the alimony. Then we have to marry in a illegal way? I think that is also haram in the islam. We cant say we marry but don't tell nothing to the government.
Alimony is the unislamic law of the land though but you being a citizen of an unislamic country can't challenge the law.
Islam has given us the complete social system but It's the fault of the Muslims who instead of going to scholars go to the court to get their disputes settled and we can't expect the court to follow Islamic laws.
if (their) every country is governed by their religious laws then what...?Secular state says religion and politics are two separate entity.
