Theban King Creon issued a decree that was counterproductive to the well-being of his city and his family. By that decree, he denied the god-given rights of proper burial to those who had fought against Thebes in the recent battle with the Argive enemy. The King issued such a decree to give preferential treatment to Thebans who had remained loyal to Thebes. For Creon felt that once an enemy, always an enemy. It didn't matter if that enemy started out in life as a relative, friend or fellow Theban. And so the King didn't want foes to be treated as well as friends.

Can your 16 year old daughter live with her biological father for one year even though you have sole custody and live in Canada?

I don't know your situation, but you can do anything as long as both parties agree. What I mean by both parties is mother and father. If mother and father agree, and the 16 year old wants to live with her father for a year, then it is OK. If the parents do not agree, then a court hearing may be necessary to hear both sides and decide what is best for your daughter. Being that your daughter is 16, she will have some say in court as well.

Why does haemon say that his father will never see his face again?

Haemon expresses his despair and frustration to his father, Creon, when he realizes that Creon's rigid adherence to his own laws and decisions is leading to tragic consequences. He believes that if Creon goes through with his punishment of Antigone, the woman he loves, he can no longer respect him as a father or ruler. Haemon's declaration that Creon will "never see his face again" symbolizes his deep disillusionment and the emotional rift between them, as well as his willingness to defy his father's authority for the sake of love and justice.
