Mulada

Mulada is a term used in Islamic law to refer to a person who is not a Muslim but is married to a Muslim. The term is derived from the Arabic word "mulad," which means "born." In the context of Islamic law, a mulada is considered a non-Muslim spouse of a Muslim, and their status and rights are governed by specific legal principles.

The legal status of a mulada varies depending on the school of Islamic law (madhhab) and the specific circumstances of the marriage. In general, a mulada may not inherit from a Muslim spouse, and their children may not inherit from the Muslim parent. However, the mulada may receive a dowry (mahr) upon marriage and may have certain rights and obligations under Islamic law.

The treatment of mulada has been a subject of debate and controversy in Islamic jurisprudence. Some scholars argue that the mulada should be treated as a full partner in the marriage, with equal rights and responsibilities, while others maintain that the mulada's status should be limited to that of a non-Muslim spouse.

In contemporary Islamic societies, the treatment of mulada varies widely. In some countries, mulada are granted full citizenship and equal rights, while in others, their status may be more limited. The legal and social treatment of mulada continues to be a complex and sensitive issue in many Muslim communities.
