Attempted murder in Moabit: Man stabs ex-wife!

Lehrter Straße, 10557 Berlin, Deutschland - On June 2, 2025, the Berlin public prosecutor charged charges against a 40-year-old man who will be on trial for attempted insidious murder and dangerous bodily harm. The incident occurred in a residential facility on Lehrter Straße in Moabit, on December 22, 2024, around 1 a.m. The accused, who was married to the injured party, a 38-year-old woman under Islamic law, apparently planned to kill her.

In a dramatic turn, the accused of the sleeping woman approached with an approximately 20 cm long kitchen knife and stabbed her several times. The injured party woke up and continued to struggle during the accused. A joint son of the two became aware of the action and was able to capture his father, which prevented another attack. The mother suffered life -threatening injuries and had to be operated on.

indictment and arrest

After the crime, the accused was arrested by alarmed police forces in the residential facility. He has been in custody since December 23, 2024. So far he has kept silent about the allegations.

The topic of this act also raises questions about the social and legal background, especially in the context of Islamic marriage and family law. According to Islamic teaching, Sharia is regarded as a divine and unchangeable law that is intended to ensure peace and justice in society. In addition to religious commandments, the Sharia includes marriage, inheritance and family laws as well as provisions of criminal law.

Islamic criminal law and women's rights

The Sharia regulates the relationship of the individual to God, family and the environment and has an important role in civil status in many Islamic countries, as well as in parts of Africa and Southeast Asia. However, the realities of life for women in these countries are often shaped by cultural traditions and legal disadvantages. While in some Islamic states the rights of women have improved, in others there is a return to the traditional interpretations of Sharia.

In Islamic criminal law, a distinction is made between different categories of crimes, each with their own rules for punishment. This includes border offenses (HADD), which are considered particularly serious and have fixed penalties. These can range from the scouting to amputations. Crimes with re -reference (QISAS) require reparation by the perpetrator or his family, during discretionary offense (Ta’zir) in the judge's freedom of discretion.

The complexity and the different interpretations of the Sharia, which are available in different right schools, contribute to confusion and tensions. In a modern context, Sharia, although regarded as not questionable, is not always compatible with the current social conditions. This applies in particular to the gender equality and the rights of women, which are still restricted in many Muslim societies.
