a telephone marriage is okay in Islam.. but only in the west.
because if it was the goverment then a goverment official would have the women sign the contract and make sure she was okay with the marriage.
whereas in the west muslims must rely on trusting the imam or clergy to make sure the girl is okay with the marriage.
as the girl saw the mans picture and agreed and only after found out about his disability. My guess and its a big guess.. Is that the parents did not realize the mans faults either.
in pakistani culture alot of trust is formed especially through relatives. If the girl did not know the man or hear about him through family members then I am sure her parents were equally ignorant about the situation.
but of course
that is a guess.. the parents could have been just screwed up people.. who abused the shariah council.. (which does not equal shariah law in the slightest)
