Hanin Ghaddar On The Butros Harb Law
January 7, 2011 · Mustapha Hamoui
People Like her would be hit hardest:
According to our sect-based law, a person cannot inherit the estate of someone from a different religion. Therefore, my son, a Maronite, cannot inherit from me, his Shia mother.[…] The only solution is that I will have to sell my son my property for a symbolic price so that I can be able to pass it on to him. Now with your draft law, even that would not be possible. My son, simply, would never be able to inherit from me.
The evil Butros Harb law (yes I just used that word) only serves to alienate the very people this country needs more of: People who marry outside of their sect and blur the edges between communities.
