Is it true that there is an islamic court in Singapore?
If true, is the islamic court holds an higher authority to civil courts on islamic matters? -
-
Its called the syariah court
On many issues, yes, like marriages and divorces.
Most other civil cases are referred to the civil courts. -

Do you know the condition of the people at the time the order came to restrict the number of wives? (Restricted to only four)
Men used to bury their daughters alive in the sand, out of shame for having something so low instead of a son.
Women were treated horribly with disgust.
Men could marry as many as they liked and often owned women like cattle or sheep.
There were no laws to protect the women and they had no rights at all.Islam is about rights.
Children also have rights in Islam.
When a man dies his wealth is left to his family. How could the court know who to give the wealth of a man, if he was one of several husbands to a woman?
How would a child know who his father was?
No society ever supported the concept of a woman being married to two or more men at the same time. Almost every society supported the concept of a man having more than one woman.
Islam came to set things straight.
Women were given rights.
Men were strictly ordered to treat their women with the very best of treatment.
First of all, the men had to divorce their wives, if they had more than four. So this was not an order to go out and get four wives. It was an order to begin limitations. And the first limitation was; No more than four.
Second, the limitation of equal treatment for all of them. How could a man keep more than one wife unless he was exceedingly wealthy and/or exceedingly strong and virile?
Next, the limitation very clearly states; ".. but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them) then only one ..."
Step by step, the men of Islam have come to be known today as the most monogamous of all men on earth. (we only have one wife)
Check for yourself and see. In the majority of all the Muslim homes on earth, a man gets married once, to one woman and then he stays married to her until the death of either himself or his wife.
It is strange isn't it, a society like America, that condones having sex without marriage, homosexuality, same sex marriages, sex without responsibility, children without fathers and divorces are more common place than the measles or chicken pox, would be so concerned about the way Islam demands that a couple be married, the man actually work instead of the woman and the woman owns her own property without giving anything for the support of the house or the child, a child has the right to his or her own mother raising them instead of a baby sitter or day care, father must support his children, divorce is hated, marriage is sanctified. -
it's called the Syariah Court.
handles divorces and other proceedings where the cases are different frm the Supreme/Subordinate courts. -
