The Qur’an forbids Muslim women to marry “idolaters”: “Do not marry idolatresses until they believe, for indeed, a believing slave woman is better than an idolatress, even though she pleases you. And do not give your daughters in marriage to idolaters until they believe, for indeed, a believing slave is better than an idolater, even though he pleases you. These people invite you to the fire, and Allah invites you to the garden, and to forgiveness by his grace, and explains his signs to mankind so that perhaps they will remember.” (Qur’an 2:221)

Karnataka: Muslim woman arrested for suffocating 40-day-old grandson over anger at granddaughter’s marriage to a Hindu man
A shocking case has come to light from a place called Chelur in Karnataka’s Chikkaballapur district. In this case, a woman named Mehboobi has been arrested for murdering her 40-day-old grandson. The police claim that her motive for killing her grandson was her anger at her granddaughter marrying a Hindu boy against her wishes.
The incident took place on 24th December, 2025, at Mehboobi’s residence in Chelur. When the newborn baby boy was staying with his mother at her grandmother’s house after birth.
Soon after the baby’s death, Mehboobi told relatives that her grandson had developed breathing problems and had died. Trusting her explanation, the family performed the last rites without suspecting anything suspicious.
But soon after that, the mother of the baby started suspecting that something was fishy. According to police sources, “The mother of the deceased child started suspecting something after noticing Mehboobi’s behaviour. She then approached the Chelur police and filed a complaint seeking a proper investigation.
After the complaint was filed, the police initiated an investigation into the matter and obtained permission to exhume the baby’s body for a post-mortem examination. The body was examined in the presence of officials and sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) for further investigation.
The FSL report revealed that the infant had died due to suffocation and not because of any illness. The police officials stated that Mehboobi’s statements were contradictory during the investigation, which led them to suspect her of the crime.
During the investigation of the case, the officials found that Mehboobi was unhappy because her granddaughter had married a Hindu man in a love marriage. Mehboobi was also unhappy about the birth of the child from that interfaith marriage….
Bank of America settles lawsuit filed by Jeffrey Epstein victims

Bank of America has tentatively settled a lawsuit claiming it ignored suspicious financial transactions involving Jeffrey Epstein while he was sexually abusing hundreds of girls and women.
The proposed settlement was revealed in filings in Manhattan federal court on Monday, the same day that billionaire financier Leon Black was originally scheduled to be deposed in the case. Terms were not disclosed. The bank declined to comment through a spokesperson.
Though not a defendant, Black was recently described as a “critical witness” in the case by Sigrid McCawley, a lawyer for Epstein victims.
During a hearing last week, a lawyer for Black persuaded Judge Jed S. Rakoff to postpone Black’s deposition for 10 days on the grounds that the parties were close to settling. The lawyer, Michael Carlinsky, did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday.
In a statement, McCawley paid tribute to the “brave and fearless voices” of Epstein victims, saying their “road to justice” has been long and trying, but the Bank of America settlement “is one more step on the road to much deserved justice.”
The October lawsuit accused the bank of ignoring US$170 million Black paid from a Bank of America account to Epstein purportedly for “tax and estate planning advice.”
It said the bank ignored “numerous red flags” of improper financial dealings, and “went far beyond what a non-complicit bank would have done and instead assisted Epstein in setting up the necessary financial structure to operate his sex-trafficking venture.”
The lawsuit, brought on behalf of a woman identified in court papers only as Jane Doe and “all others similarly situated,” said the woman was living in Russia when she met Epstein in 2011 and was “coerced into a cult-like life.”
It said she was paid by Epstein through a Bank of America account as she was controlled “financially, emotionally, and psychologically” by Epstein from 2011 through 2019 as he sexually abused her on at least 100 occasions, including raping her and forcing her to engage sexually with other women for his sexual gratification.

The lawsuit alleged that Epstein paid her rent and income from a phony job through a Bank of America account, and held her immigration status “over her head, until her ultimate escape when Jeffrey Epstein died.”
Epstein died in a federal jail in August 2019 as he awaited trial on sex trafficking charges. His death was ruled a suicide. He was known for his connections with wealthy and powerful men, and the lawsuit said he used it to his advantage in his attacks on women.
The recent Justice Department release of millions of pages of documents from law enforcement probes of Epstein show he had regular contact with CEOs, journalists, scientists and prominent politicians long after his 2008 conviction in state court in Florida on sex crimes charges.
A review of the documents by The Associated Press and other news organizations showed Black’s name appeared 8,200 times, though that figure likely includes some duplicate records.
In March 2021, Black stepped down as CEO of Apollo Global Management, saying he wanted to focus on his family, health, and “many other interests.”
A committee of the company’s board had issued a report two months earlier concluding that Epstein had advised Black personally on estate planning, tax issues, charitable giving and running his “family office,” but provided no services to Apollo or invested in no Apollo funds.
The report also said the review — which Black requested — found “no evidence” that he was involved with Epstein’s alleged criminal activities “in any way” or “at any time.”
In a statement Tuesday, Sen. Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat who sits on the Senate Finance Committee, said the bank’s decision to settle was a “step towards justice and a vindication of my staff’s investigation into how major Wall Street banks enabled Epstein’s crimes.”
He said the bank “willfully looked the other way” as Black paid Epstein the $170 million through “huge wire transfers,” often in $10 million or $20 million installments.
United Kingdom: Kevin Spacey reaches a settlement with three men accusing him of sexual assault, avoiding a new trial

The 66-year-old Hollywood star was acquitted in 2023 by a London court of sexual assault charges brought against him by four men, following a criminal trial lasting several weeks.
American actor Kevin Spacey will avoid a new trial in the UK after reaching an agreement with three men who accused him of sexual assault and were pursuing him in a civil case. The 66-year-old Hollywood star was acquitted in 2023 by a London court of sexual assault charges brought against him by four men, following a weeks-long criminal trial.
Two of them were pursuing civil action against the actor, along with a third, new plaintiff, British actor Ruari Cannon, who waived his right to anonymity in this new proceeding. Kevin Spacey, who won Oscars for American Beauty and The Usual Suspects, has always maintained his innocence. A trial had been scheduled for October 2026, but the plaintiffs reached an agreement with the actor, according to a stay of proceedings order issued by a High Court judge in London, as reported by the PA news agency.
The "payment terms" were not specified.
“By mutual consent, it is ordered that all further proceedings against the defendant in these matters be suspended,” according to the ruling, which does not detail the “settlement terms,” including financial ones, agreed upon between the three men and Kevin Spacey. These three men accused the actor of sexually assaulting them between 2004 and 2015, when he was the artistic director of London’s Old Vic Theatre.
Contacted by AFP, the lawyers for the plaintiffs and Kevin Spacey did not respond. The accusations of sexual assault against the Hollywood star emerged in 2017 at the beginning of the #MeToo movement, when Kevin Spacey was at the height of his fame, starring in the hit Netflix series House of Cards. Since then, he has virtually disappeared from screens.
Prosecutors in the trial of Marius Borg Høiby, the son of Norway’s crown princess, have requested a prison sentence of seven years and seven months for offences including rape and sexual assault.
On Wednesday, the prosecution said it believes that Høiby was guilty of 39 of the 40 offences with which he was charged, the Guardian reports.
Høiby is on trial for multiple alleged offences with 40 counts against him, including four charges of rape, sexual assault, abuse in a close relationship against one former partner and acts of violence against another, as well as transporting 3.5 kg of marijuana, breaking a restraining order and aggravated assault. Others include making death threats and traffic violations.

One of the offences against Høiby included violation of a restraining order, which has now been overturned.
Høiby, 29, previously pleaded guilty to several minor offences but pleaded not guilty to the most serious charges, including the four counts of rape.
After the final day of the more than six-week-long trial on Thursday, it could take several months for the judges to make a decision.
During the trial last week, Høiby complained about the media coverage of the trial and how he had become “an object of hatred,” the BBC reports.
“I’m not Marius any more, I’m a monster. I’ve become the hate target of all of Norway,” he told the court.
Høiby is the eldest son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit from a previous relationship and the stepson of the heir to the throne, Crown Prince Haakon. Høiby has no royal title or official duties.
After consensual sex, the woman said she woke up after Høiby had resumed sexual relations with her, which she said were not consensual.

“I remember waking up when he was already underway. I thought, ‘I don’t understand how someone can have sex with someone who’s sleeping,'” she told the court.
“Then, I mostly had the feeling I was dissociating, leaving my own body,” she said. “It was painful. My body wasn’t ready for it.”
“That’s always been my worst nightmare,” she said, adding that she closed her eyes “so I wouldn’t have to take part in my own assault.”
The prosecution submitted video evidence that was filmed with Høiby’s phone to prove that the sex that took place happened when the woman was not in a state to say no.
Prosecutor Sturla Henriksbro said the five-second video, discovered on Høiby’s phone by police, showed the woman asleep at the time of the alleged assault. They also shared data from the woman’s fitness watch to show that she was asleep at the time.
The woman told the court that the footage captured by Høiby was taken without her knowledge.
Høiby told the court that the woman “was awake when I had sex with her,” before correcting himself and saying, “When we had sex together.”
“I don’t have sex with women who are asleep,” Høiby added.

During the first week of the trial, the court heard testimony from another woman who claimed that Høiby raped her at an after-party in the basement of his parents’ estate outside Oslo in December 2018.
The woman told the court that she “100 per cent” believes that she had been drugged during the after-party, the BBC reports.
The woman said she felt “betrayal and shock” after police showed her videos of Høiby allegedly sexually assaulting her. She said she had no memory of what happened and referred to her memory as a “black hole.”
When asked about the alleged rape in 2018, Høiby told the court that he did not remember taking videos and denied that he had raped the woman. He said they had consensual sex after other people at the after-party had gone to bed.
When asked by the prosecutor if the woman was awake when they had sex, Høiby said, “I don’t sleep with women who aren’t awake.”
