More Hindus than Muslims have two wives

The Shoaib-Ayesha-Sania drama, played out live on TV for days, has enhanced the image of Ayesha and her family. The same cannot be said of the former Pakistan captain who sold himself short by denying his first marriage.

Indians and Pakistanis alike can now heave a sigh of relief the controversy is settled. But the entire saga offers important lessons. First, although Muslim Personal Law allows a man to take a second wife during the lifetime of the first, it cannot be a license to commit injustice. Under Islamic tenets, a man is allowed to take a second wife only if he is in a position to provide equal partnership and amenities to both.

However, if you were to carry out an honest survey across the country, you would find that more Hindu men than Muslims have more than one wife. In such cases, the second wife is neither recognized by society nor given the legal status of ‘wife’.

It’s interesting to note that throughout the controversy — and despite Sania’s wholehearted support for Shoaib — the Muslim community in particular and Indian society at large was solidly behind Ayesha, who was seen as the victim in the whole saga.

Perhaps that’s why Shoaib did not succeed in his attempt to cover up his first marriage.

Also, Ayesha’s acceptance of a divorce without preconditions sends out a strong signal to the Pakistani people — the people of India are forgiving if you make amends.

But I am still intrigued about the most important aspect of this drama — the basis of the divorce. Under Islamic law, a husband has to give a reason for divorcing his wife and if she is not satisfied with it, she can ask for divorce under the khula rights. What reason did Shoaib give for divorcing Ayesha? That is still not clear.

Please don't take seriously the above line and start doing 2-2 marriages with Indian women

 

[sirius]

The figures are
muslims 5.7%
hindus 5.8%
not much of a difference

Please don't take seriously the above line and start doing 2-2 marriages with Indian women ::

But we read the reports that due to gender gap men are sharing one wife in some parts of India.

Do you think the gender gap is not wide enough to provide chance for having two ?

What is the basis of the conclusion? How did this Muslim lawyer reach this conclusion? By conducting his own "survey"?

And what a vague conclusion anyways. Does this guy realize that Indian Hindus outnumber Indian Muslims by more than 5:1? So, is his conclusion on a per capita basis or absolute basis?

What I meant was that Pakistani men shouldn't marry more than one women from India. What it has to do with gender gap, if you got fame and money you will find a woman no matter of scarcity. Yes the male:female ratio is not 1 but the most affected are people who are poor, who consider female child as a burden and not the common man.

If you are so much interested check out this movie on hindilinks4u.net -> Matrubhoomi

It's a story set in future of some village where there is no woman left and they marry a woman from some other village which is being shared by 5 brothers and their dad!

sometimes its good to have not so good relations with your neighbor, you can always try to pacify yourself about your shortcomings that your neighbor is worse.

This is called "thinking through @ss". If you want to "learn" from this matter then also learn that "Indian people kept deceiving Pakistanis and showed fake people to engage them and once reality got clear, they had to surrender and give Pakistan the 'favor' the article is talking about".

Obsessed sick head writers writing on behalf of "India". SICK!

 

[graphican]

The figures are
muslims 5.7%

Its not who is keeping 0.1% more, its about who and under what conditions is keeping the second wife. For Muslims, it is obligatory to take care of 2nd wife as much as the first one and keep equality every possible matter - BUT - the Hindu religion doesn't permit to have second wife, let alone oblige its followers to take care of her.

The permission of allowing Muslims to have 2nd wife has been used as propaganda against Islam. This is shameful act that people who are pointing fingers at Muslims are infect doing the same and under no legal/religious bindings.

i wonder where these statisticts are coming from. i dont care if hindus or christians or muslims have multiple marriages, as i believe that it is better to part ways if you dont get along, rather than staying together and spoil 2 or more lives.

but as per my undertanding and observations - divorce is not a 'done' thing culturly in hindu's...if you see there is no official word for divorce in hindi as well. vivah vichedan is a term used but not an official word for divorce.

what the guy in his article seems to mention is about mistresses or "other" woman. As long as guy is a guy - he will not mend his ways will he? and keep exploring other avenues ...even if he is married...

As you have posted that Muslims do this under legal/religious bindings?????

can u plz elaborate the bindings under which Muslims do this??????????

As per my understanding there is no legal or religious binding for a Muslim to have more than one wife.
