Muslim scholars seek triple talaq ban, tab on polygamy​

NEW DELHI: A group of Muslim scholars and activists just got a step closer to the codification of Muslim Personal Law in India on Saturday. The national consultation on the codification has prepared a revolutionary draft which, among other things, bans triple talaq and restricts polygamy. After codification of the personal law, it will be sent to Parliament for amendments into the law and the Muslim masses will be made aware of what Islam gives and what some Mullahs have denied to them over the centuries.

"Codification of the personal law is the need of the hour. We are not bringing any new law but only reiterating the provisions which the Quran makes for Muslim men and women," said reformist scholar Asghar Ali Engineer, whose Centre for Study of Society and Secularism along with Bhartiya Muslim Mahila Andolan and Institute of Islamic Studies organized the meet in Delhi.

"There is no place for triple talaq in one seating. It must be abolished," said Qutub Jehan Kidwai of the Mumbai-based Institute of Islamic Studies. The group concluded that polygamy was a restrictive provision. "The spirit of Islam is monogamy. A lot of men were killed in the battle of Ouhad and there were an overwhelming number of widows and orphans in Arabia. The Quranic verses, while allowing men to take up to four wives, clearly says that men cannot do justice to all of them and, therefore, should marry just one woman," said Justice Shamsuddin, a retired judge of Kerala HC.

The draft document also makes registration of all Muslim marriages with the state governments mandatory. It appeals to the governments to appoint Nikah registrars who will maintain nikahnamas. The consent of the bride will be made mandatory and the minimum age of the bride will be 18 and that of the groom 21.

I am very sad to see how mislead the mainstream muslims are in India. This is partially because of these self-proclaimed "scholars" and also because, the majority of the youth show very less interest in learning the deen. Most of them are not even sure what their aqeedah is. Believe me, there are some good salafi Talib-ul-Ilm in India but they get hidden or their dawah gets over-shadowed by some Grave worshipping "scholars" and their massive followers. They have huge numbers following them and also lot of donation and stuff. They join with everyone who gives them money and people power. They are only after power and recognition. However, the salaffiyah dawah is about teaching the authentic islam regardless of whether people care about it or not, as we know islam doesn't need people or money.

Blame is upon us, the people. We are supposed to learn the deen in correct way. And some of us should learn and teach the others. But, some get too blinded by money and fame.

Not according to them. They have their own interpretation of Qur'an. They potray Qur'an in a way that it looks politically acceptable for other faiths. That is why they get awards like "Communal Harmony Award" and stuff. According to these so called scholars, we are misinterpreting the Qur'an.

Really if you read about what these people for example, Asghar Ali Engineer, believes, you will be astonished - andromeda.rutgers.edu/~rtavakol/engineer/belief.htm.

I will let you be the judge

Assalaam walaikum,

Too much confusion in his early education.

I know the need to study the western philosophers. I know they call it the age of enlightenment. But, in the Light of the Quran..they seem like little boys.

I will probably upset many with this statement but after years of studying I am a firm believer of the Zionist roots of communism.

As for the pluralism..it good, but, faith is individual. And we are told by the Word of Allah what He wants us to practice.

When did Islam start to have priests?

Oh.. the sufis do. And also, some shias. That is how they introduce shirk into their belief. They say the normal people are sinners and don't have the dignity to pray to Allah directly. Astagfirullah, they say Allah doesn't listen to sinners and hence, there should be someone righteous and upright between God and the normal people and they call them Awliya. And they encourage people to worship Allah through these priests. And in the end, people forget Allah and start worshiping these Awliyas and after they are dead, they worship their graves.

 

[Ahsen]

How these retards can be called scholars?

Even on this forum some people get provoked when they know about somebody who is having a second wife. People,marrying 2,3 or 4 wives is a personal choice. Who are they to tell us not to marry more than 1. If they can't handle more than one,it doesn't mean that other people are like them also.

 

[Aapa]

Assalaam walaikum,

Slow down brother...we can not call them names..did you read the link. It gives us a historical context of why these men are caught in the post-colonial web.

 

[Seeker-of-truth]

Can't a man marry 1 wife and keep 3 other wives as wives in islam but as girlfriends by law, or something like that? islam doesn't say you need the law of the land to confirm your wedding. You can be married to 4 people with only 1 of them as your legal wife and the rest as your islamic wives with equal preference to all of them

 

[Aapa]

Assalaam walaikum,

No.

 

[ilyas_eh]

who gave them the authority to decide on when should I marry and how many should I marry? Jokers! They are in no way have any authority over muslims in India. Its the problem when we put Government before Islaam and politicians before Allah.
