I think this is a much bigger problem. You believe in a book to be absolutely true, always. IMHO, it is not possible to have an absolute truth in matters like inheritance or family law. It needs to be decided on a case by case basis.
Like I have said in my post above Sharia is not black and white, but shades of grey.
Now you say that inheritance laws are not absolute, I agree, there will be exceptions. But I choose this specific example as it was the most clear cut and it is generally applicable.
If for the sake of argument there is a disagreement between sister and brother and they go to the (Islamic) court and the judge then rules that this law in the Quran is applicable, then as a Muslim you can disagree with the judge's interpretation or applicability but as a Muslim you cannot disagree with that UNEQUAL law being valid and available to be practiced? Can you??? And if the judge finds that in this particular case an exception is to be made, as a Muslim you can disagree with the judge's interpretation and lack of applicability but as a Muslim you cannot disagree with that UNEQUAL law being valid and available to be practiced (potentially)? Can you???
(I take it that you are Muslim?)
