How can a single Moslem woman who gets pregnant by a Moslem man get financial support from him for her child ?

A single Moslem mother cannot file for these at the Sharaii or Moslem Religious Court. Although the court has jurisdiction over personal matters where all sides are Moslems , Islamic religious law does not recognize paternity outside of marriage. If the two parties are not married then there is no basis in a Moslem Religious Court for a claim for paternity, which must be proved before maintenance can be claimed.
