Who will you save first, when your parent and wife are in danger?

It is indeed very tough question. But, as a man moslem that has to respect parents first, then I will have no choice but to save my mom and dad first. They were the one bringing me to life, so I must honor it. Keep in mind that when I take this decision I am not happy at all leaving my wife behind. But I believe God will place my wife to the happiest place in the heaven.

This is a very hard decision. I would like to try to save both of them, but I'm sure my parents would want me to save the person I love first before them. I'll still try to save both of their lives even at the cost of mine if I have too.

it is a hard choice to make but i would save my spouse. i would feel bad for my parents, but that is what i would do.

Hi, It is pretty hard to answer question. Both of them are my close kins and I would like to save both of them. I should ask my husband this question tonight when he comes back home. If I were in this situation, then I will save the person who is nearest to me first, at least I save less time to rescue him/her,then I will go for the next person.

It is a tough decision, but in a way it's fairly easy for me to make. And at the same time, I feel confident my parents would expect me and want me to make this decision. I would save my wife! I feel when I get married, me and my wife become, in essence, one. That is obviously not to say that her body is mine, but rather that in a very spiritual (if that's the right word), or perhaps symbolic way, by letting her die, I would be killing a part of me. The second reason being, my wife is the sole possibility of bringing new life into this world. Without a mother, my children, if I were to have any, would be left without a balanced home, without a mother to nurture them. In a way, by sacrificing the life of my parents, I would be giving children an opportunity to live. Thirdly, my wife is much younger than my parents, and although all lives are valuable, I feel the youngest have the highest priority, as there is so much left to see and do in this world. Yes, our elders are very important and without them we'd be lost, but I feel she would deserve to live to see as much of their world as mine. Lastly, from my parents point of view, it would pain them to see me lonely and without a wife. I would not simply be able to replace her with another, and for that they would feel forever regretful. And no parent wants to see their children die before them, it is one of the worst feelings in the world I'm sure. Her parents would feel terrible, and I would never be able to look them in the eyes knowing I held their daughters life in my hand and let it go. Plus, when I merry my wife, in the same she becomes a part of me symbolically, she also becomes a daughter to my parents, and in that way they too would see their daughter die before them. Because this, I would easily choose my wife.

I'll save my parents,I think my parents will be closer to me than my wife will ever be :)
