“What a strange case! I’m not entirely sure what to think. However, it does seem like in cases like this, a thoughtful judge would consider it from a “secularized” or “laws-in-common” approach, trying to see all aspects of the case and make a just decision. A secular approach here merely means that the state takes a fair-minded approach and tries to apply laws that upheld both family and liberty. I don’t know what Rifqa wants, but it does seem to me that she should be given the chance to make up her mind without coercion from any and all sides.”
