argument.
By Faisal Rahman
Abstract :
This paper is to show that the correct explanation for the evidence for
relationship argument.
The first thing is ,who will proof ? the person who accuses . Then
Evidence is also a suspect it has to be showed that the Evidence is
telling the truth. then it has to be shown that in the case husband and
wife no evidence is required.
And finally relation proof is needed in the case of incest ,that is a
relationship crime.
Natural husband and wife is not a relationship crime.
Introduction : Why this essay ?
Recently I have come to know a cruel ,miss interpreted , version of
the relationship evidence.
which is incorrect ; innocent until proven guilty not the other way
round. You can not accuse any one with out proof . guilt has to be
proven ; not innocence.
we have to understand the following things to understand this
process.,
a. Burden Proof
b. Law of evidence
c. Criminal procedure.
The Burden of proof :
On whom the burden of proof lies ? This is what has to be
understood first ; "He who makes the assumption provides the
evidence."
" If I say that Mr .X have committed a rape " --- I have to provide
evidence that Mr.X committed a rape. Until proven guilty , Mr.X is
innocent .
I am in dock in the court of law taking the solemn oath to tell the
truth nothing but whole truth.
Then You cannot say that I am lying under oath , you have to provide
evidence that I am telling a lie. So the burden of prove is on the
shoulder of the accuser .
Take an example from physics.
The scientist who is assuming , is confined inside a box , he is asking
"Is it gravity or is it acceleration ? " So it is him who has to provide
proof whether it is gravity or whether it is acceleration ?" Similarly ,
you are confined inside a box , you don 't know . you are assuming
whether this couple is husband & wife or brother & sister. You have
to provide evidence not them.In this case ,the couple has same
father.
If you cannot prove it they are innocent.
Law of Evidence: At First it has to be proved that any Evidence is
required here , from our daily life experience,we know that , evidence
can not be found in every case.
For example , 1) there are many Rape cases where it cannot be
proved that the girl is raped
but no body says that the girl is lying , everybody says the girl is raped
but it couldn't be proved in the court of law.
2) There are lot of fraud marriages that can not be proved in the
court of law.
But does any body says that girl is lying ? No every body says the girl
is divorced but it could not be proved in the Court of law.
So we can see that Evidence can not be found in every situation.,that
is the reality.
Suppose, a situation where an old man was walking on the street ,
while he saw a boy leaping and trying for the doorbell; because he
was short he was failing to reach for the bell , So the old man felt
kindness for this boy and went up to the door and rang the bell on
behalf of him.
just the moment he rang the bell the boy said "run ,run " and started
to runaway
meanwhile the owner of the house came out and asked why he rang
the bell.
Now if any body says " it is seen that the old man was pressing the
bell, finger printing of the old man was found on the bell , there fore,
the old man is guilty."
Will this statement be correct ? NO ! from this simple example , we
know that evidence is not required every where.
Law of Evidence
is Evidence it self is a suspect ; evidence tells lies
Evidence =suspect
Evidence itself is a suspect ;
Evidence can not be accepted without doubt . Evidence has to
be questioned . Is Evidence telling the truth or lying ?
Evidence can lead to wrong conclusion ; so we have to be
careful about asking for evidence.
Evidence can not be found ; in every case we have to ask :
a) Is evidence required in this situation ?
b) How much ?
c) Is evidence telling the truth ?
If it is proved that evidence is not required here Evidence can not be
demanded .
You can not demand proof for what is cannot be proven..
now come to our situation. is husband wife relationship demand a
evidence ? answer is No!.
Logic of theology :
In far distant lands where marriage ceremonies are done inside
mosques ;where there occurs no written contract If any body goes
there and says this couple is not husband and wife ,because there is no
evidence. will this statement be true?No ! because that couple is
husband and wife in the eye of the divine law. whether there is
evidence or no evidence.
Logic of space :
Suppose there is a couple in a deserted island ;in the middle of an
ocean will not that couple be able to become husband and wife ? yes .!
of course !
They can become husband and wife naturally no Evidence is needed
here..
Logic of Time:
Suppose H G Wells goes to far back in 13th century , Rajasthan ,
India . And demands Rana Ratan Sen and Padmini , to show evidence
that are they are husband and wife. Will this statement be valid?No !
because there was no system for marriage registrations in those days.
So from our logic of Divinity , space and time we can see that a
marital relationship requires no evidence.Therefore , Evidence cannot
be demanded to prove a marriage.
Criminal Procedure:The basic criminal procedure is " innocent until
proven guilty,not the other way round ". you can not convict any one
as guilty then tell him to prove himself innocent . The Guilt has to be
proven not the innocence"
The Relationship crime : When the relationship is a crime ?
Why relationship proof is needed ?
Natural relationship is not a crime .Incest is a crime. Relationship
proof is needed only in the case of incest.
Once upon a time An investigator Mr. Holmes saw a couple who call
themselves husband and wife but there is a reasonable doubt , this
couple has identical face. Identical face is an evidence for genetic
relationship.
So our investigator ask whether this couple is genuine Husband &
wife or Brother & sister?
that is why the evidence for relationship is required.
Mr.Holmes has to show that the father of the husband and the father
of the wife , is one and the same Mr. Zingo.
that is :
Father of husband = Father of wife
thus , Husband + Wife = brother + Sister.
therefore , Sexual relationship = Incest.
This is why evidence of relationship was needed only to prove Incest
Prostitution is not a relationship crime , because Prostitutes'
client, can become their husband.
Husband + wife = prostitute + Client.
This equation is not false.
Therefore Relationship evidence is not applicable, to prove that the
couple is client and prostitute.
Prostitution is the business or practice of engaging in sexual activity in
exchange for payment[either as money, goods, services, or some other
benefit agreed upon by the transacting parties. Prostitution is
sometimes described as commercial sex or hooking. ( Wikipedia)
In the case of prostitution relationship evidence is not required ; here
business transaction evidence is required . If you want to prove
prostitution you have to show that some
illegal business transaction has occurred
Conclusion
Therefore , from our argument we can see that from logic of space ,
logic of time , logic of divinity a marital relationship demands no
evidence.. If you ask a hydrogen atom Where is your credentials to
meet with the Oxygen atom. The hydrogen atom will say " I require no
Credentials to meet with the oxygen atom.
It is my natural right to meet with Oxygen , I need no credentials "
It is like the situation in Abbot's The Flat Lander ; where a two
dimensional organism goes to three dimensional world ; when he
comes back to the two dimensional world and tell s his fellows about
his experience they don't believe him calls him a liar. But is this 2
dimensional organism who was called Mr. Square is actually a liar ?
No ! in this situation oral testimony is the direct evidence.
Hebrews 11:3 “By faith we understand that the universe was created
by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things
that are visible.”
God created the universe with out any proof ; If we ask you to prove
that the God created the world , will you be able to prove that ? No .
Because it is not provable . We believe in God with out any evidence .
Similarly A man and A woman can be husband wife without any
evidence .
now if any body says a couple needs credentials to prove their
marriage. that is a crime ,that is Blasphemy ! Breaking the law of God..
