Help! From an immigrant to America, is Prenuptial agreements common in American marriages?
I have been in America for 8 years
I have heard that many marriages in America have Prenuptial agreements
I never heard such thing in my old country, where we assume that when two marry, they become one and there is nothing to be agreed upon between the person and himself/herself
I feel that these Prenuptial agreements make marriages sounds like a corporation where two people are together for the benefit of each other and ready to leave once some kind of contract expires, instead of the love and intimacy a marriage should have
So, are the Prenuptial agreements common in American marriages?
Or are they very rare, and people only took notice of them only because their unusual nature?
Thanks…

I have recently been diagnosed with S.V.T supraventricular tachycardia?
I am 41 and female,I was at work and my heart started to race and my blood pressure dropped.I was taken to hospital and a chest xray and blood tests were done (all came back clear) the episode lasted around an hour,I have had it before but only mild.I don’t smoke and don’t drink a lot of coffee or alcohol but the doctors want to do a halter moniter and echocardiogram test on me.Is this condition potentially dangerous,I am so sick with worry about it at the moment.

The blood pressure drops because the heart isn’t efficiently keeping it up – nothing to fear, but something to see a doctor about… which is exactly what you are doing!

Please stop worrying! Really – this is quite common. You could go to the American Heart Association website or WebMD and see if they have information for you.

When mine acts up I lay on the floor and breath like this,,,,,,,,,,,breath deep from your stomick, hold your breath and you can feel your heart skip a beat and it will go into normal rythem……Try it now sitting there at the computer like I am now breath deep place your hand on one side of your neck vain to feel your paulse…………hold breath………this puts pressure on the chest to make the heart slow down …sometimes it takes a few times of breathing to get it to work……..

.also to rub only one side of your neck vain helps to release a hormone to calm the heart….only one side to rub at a time because if you rub both artires in your neck it can cut off blood flow and make you a little dizzy

They will talk a local sergery too to fix this extra wire loop in the heart, the heart goes in a rythem and sometimes gets stuck in a fast rythem…….like stuck in a circle , this procedure is really nothing they will tell you, I have not gotten this because i can control it with my breathing and pushing down like I have a poop sometimes helps it just puts enough pressure to help the heart skip back into the normal loop wire rythem of the heart……….I hope this helped if any more questions email me at family50@ymail.com….

Another criminal justice question! Lawful?
Officer A was told by an informant that the informant had suspicions that C, in the apartment next door, was selling drugs from her (C’s) apartment. During the next 3 nights, Officer A surveilled C’s apartment and saw people of all kinds going in and out. Officer A stopped one of them who, upon being stopped, threw away what she had in her hand. That turned out to be crack cocaine. After retrieving the crack cocaine, Officer A entered the apartment without a warrant and found more cocaine on the living room table. Officer A seized the drugs. Was there anything invalid about Officer A’s actions?

If you have legit info, please help me out!! It will be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks

I know because I lived there. GROAN. Probable cause can be interpreted basically any way the officer sees fit nowadays. It’s a total violation of our 4th amendment rights, but then again, look at the Patriot Act!

Jadzia Riker | Jan 27, 2010

The officer violated the 4th amendment rights of C.

You must get a warrant prior to entering the residence in those circumstances.
Citicop | Jan 27, 2010

I’m not sure about that but I saw on a cops show a cop saw some kind of illegal pipe through a window and he said he didn’t need a warrant because its in plane view and he went in the house…

hope that helps a little..

Option 1:
If the officer effected an arrest as you stated then a good defense attorney can get the evidence thrown out because of the lack of a warrant.

Option 2:
If the officer applied for a telephonic warrant then your friend is better off taking a plea and letting her attorney work out a good deal.

In most situation law enforcement uses the theory of exigent circumstances to justify their probable cause for entry into a residence when they find controlled substances on a person.

The Errand of Angels (2008)

IMDB rating: 7.60

Plot: A wide-eyed sister missionary arrives in Austria to begin her 18-month-long mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Her enthusiasm to share the Gospel makes her indomitable, until she finds herself with an abrasive companion whom she doesn’t understand and doesn’t particularly like. This challenge, along with the ordinary vicissitudes of missionary life begin to wear on her, and thus in the process of sharing the Gospel, Sister Taylor finds herself gaining a better understanding of its key precepts: faith, repentance, forgiveness, and charity.

Actors: Peyitch Vlasto,Family

Contemporary American novels dealing with mistfits in society..?
For my thesis I am looking for contemporary American novels where the protagonist is externally adapted yet internally unable to live or be happy in their society. Currently I have three examples: "Invisible Man" by Ralph Ellison, "The Bell Jar" by Silvia Plath, "American Psycho" by Bret Ellis Easton" … I am grateful for all suggestions. Thank you in advance.

Are you sure you want to use American Psycho? Your first two novels concern people rebelling against conventions, they do not seem to fit with one about a sociopath.

Ramadan: Who was truthful Bibi Fatima (as) or AbuBaker?
Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 53, Number 325:

Narrated ‘Aisha: (mother of the believers) After the death of Allah ’s Apostle Fatima the daughter of Allah’s Apostle asked Abu Bakr As-Siddiq to give her, her share of inheritance from what Allah’s Apostle had left of the Fai (i.e. booty gained without fighting) which Allah had given him. Abu Bakr said to her, "Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Our property will not be inherited, whatever we (i.e. prophets) leave is Sadaqa (to be used for charity)." Fatima, the daughter of Allah’s Apostle got angry and stopped speaking to Abu Bakr, and continued assuming that attitude till she died. Fatima remained alive for six months after the death of Allah’s Apostle.

ONLY A TRUTHFUL CAN INVOKE CURSE OF ALLAH ON LIARS

QURAN 3:61] If any one disputes in this matter with thee, now after (full) knowledge Hath come to thee, say: "Come! let us gather together,- our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves: Then let us earnestly pray, and invoke the curse of Allah on those who lie!"

This verse refers to the well-known event of mubahilah mentioned in every book of history, traditions and tafsir written by Muslim scholars.

The Holy Prophet was sending invitations to all to accept the true religion of Allah. Tribe after tribe, region after region, were coming into the fold of Islam. One such invitation was sent to the Christians of Najran, a town in Yemen, in the 9th year of Hijra. A deputation of 60 scholars came to discuss the matter with the Holy Prophet. Abdul Masih, the chief monk, asked him as to who was the father of Isa, thinking that the Holy Prophet would accept (God as the father of Isa. Verse 59 of this surah was revealed and presented to the Christians as a reply but they did not listen to reason. Then this verse was revealed to call them to a spiritual contest by invoking the curse of Allah on the liars mubahilah. The Christians agreed to this contest.

Early next morning, the 24th of the month of Dhilhijjah, the Holy Prophet sent Salman to the selected site, outside the city area, to set up a shelter for those whom he would take with him, as his sons, women and selves.

A large number of companions assembled in the masjid, making themselves available for the selection. On the opposite side of the field, selected for the contest, the Christians, with their selected men, women and children appeared on the scene.

At the appointed hour, a huge crowd, standing in wait, saw the Holy Prophet coming in, Imam Husayn in his arms, Imam Hasan holding his index finger, walking beside him, Bibi Fatimah Zahra, close to his heels and Imam Ali just behind her-as his sons, women, and selves. It should be noted that although there was provision for "women" and "selves" the Holy Prophet selected one "woman" and one "self"-Fatimah and Ali, because there was no woman and no man among his followers at that time who could be brought into the contest of invoking the curse of Allah on the liars. They alone were the truthful ones. (see commentary of al Tawbah: 119).

The Holy Prophet raised his hands to the heaven and said:

"O my Lord! These are my Ahle-Bait"

Both Fatima and Imam Abu Bakr are for muslims

Fatima isnt for zoinists(shia)
Baddest Troll | Feb 06, 2010

Do you think we can change the past ?

Don’t you think it is better to discuss ways of uniting the Muslims instead of dividing them ?
alsharif | Feb 06, 2010

she asked Abu Bakr As-Siddiq to give her, her share of<<<< inheritance>>>

he replied

<<"Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Our property will not be inherited, whatever we (i.e. prophets) leave is Sadaqa>>

This is confirmed in Shia Hadith as well. Let us examine Shia Hadith in Al-Kafi
