I tried many times through the courts to prevent this but even though the courts supposedly have the "statatory rape" law, the police said that they wouldn't prosecute him since it was consentual. even though she is a minor and he is an adult.
We spoke yesterday and she wants to terminate, but I told her how I felt that she chose to have sex full well knowing that there was possible going to be this consequence, and she still chose to do it. So I told her that I felt that now she is pregnant that she should take responsibility for her actions.
As her mother you are responsible.
If I were in your shoes I would force her if needed to avoid the abortion.
in America the sister CANNOT stop a minor child from having an abortion!
She has no right to kill an unborn child, that power alone lies with Allah.
In America she[the daughter] has EVERY "right" to kill her unborn child, NOT ONLY THAT, but the school system will help and do it without the consent or even knowledge of the mother! [of the student]
The baby may be a blessing in disguise. Allah works in mysterious ways, sometimes death, fortune and new life changes who we are.
Contact the husband and make him take responsibility for the baby.
financially, yes...
Whether he is a muslim or not, then he should marry her as soon as possible regardles of faith.
if the daughter were Muslim and the father of the child wasn't, we wouldn't be saying that. the 20 year old male may be a total piece of excretion and should be discouraged from ever seeing the daughter again!
It isn't a bad prospect, he needs to take responsibility for his actions, your daughter and the baby's future.
He doesn't have a choice..
Asalam alaikum everyone,
JazakAllah for all the great support.
Today she had a dr appt and when I went to get her from school she hadn't been there all day, of course I panicked! But Alhumdullilah she didn't do it, she did go the the family planning for information. Here in the great USA even thought she can't even drive yet she can have confidential dr appts and get this abortion with or without my permission.
She came home late and I took her to dr and they gave her an ultrasound and she is 5-6 wks, the bad part is that her and the dr talked to her as I was told to go out of the room (confidentiality)and when I asked to see the ultrasound pics the dr said "oh there isn't anything to see" and that there isn't even a heart beat, making my daughter think it is not a life yet. That is BULL!! I was so mad at how nonchalant the dr was. She should at least be straight with my daughter and let her know accurate information that baby is forming and does have a heart beat, then she might think before doing anything to harm it.
Sorry this is so long, but I told my daughter that if she does go ahead and have an abortion that she can't live here anymore, I told her I don't agree and that I would support her and help her to keep it.
I can't keep her on lockdown, and it kills me to think of her doing it.
I am praying for Alllah to give her wisdom and strength to do the right thing and accept responsiblity.
As for the "GUY" he is useless!! And marrying him would not make the situation any better, just put my daughter in an abusive relationship. InshaAllah like some of you posted, this baby could be the angel sent to help her to make a decision to change her life in the right direction!

Muhsin Khan: And they all shall appear before Allah (on the Day of Resurrection) then the weak will say to those who were arrogant (chiefs): "Verily, we were following you; can you avail us anything from Allah's Torment?" They will say: "Had Allah guided us, we would have guided you. It makes no difference to us (now) whether we rage, or bear (these torments) with patience, there is no place of refuge for us."
22:
Muhsin Khan: And Shaitan (Satan) will say when the matter has been decided: "Verily, Allah promised you a promise of truth. And I too promised you, but I betrayed you. I had no authority over you except that I called you, so you responded to me. So blame me not, but blame yourselves. I cannot help you, nor can you help me. I deny your former act in associating me (Satan) as a partner with Allah (by obeying me in the life of the world). Verily, there is a painful torment for the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.)."
23:
Muhsin Khan: And those who believed (in the Oneness of Allah and His Messengers and whatever they brought) and did righteous deeds, will be made to enter Garden
