சுப்ரீம்கோர்ட்டே சொன்னாலும் முஸ்லீம் திருமணத்தை பதிவு செய்யமுடியாது- இமாம்கள் மறுப்பு

முஸ்லீம் திருமணங்களாக இருந்தாலும் அனைத்தையும் அரசாங்க பதிவேடுகளில் பதிவு செய்யவேண்டும் என்று சுப்ரீம் கோர்ட் கூறியதை செய்யமுடியாது என்று இஸ்லாமிய இமாம்கள் மறுத்துள்ளார்கள்.

உண்மையில் குழந்தைகளை திருமணம் செய்வதை பதிவு செய்தால் பிரச்னையாகும் என்பதால் இஸ்லாமியர்கள் பதிவு செய்வதை எதிர்க்கிறார்கள் என்று கூறப்படுகிறது.

Marriage registration not Islamic, says Muslim board
January 24, 2008 00:14 IST


Opposing the recent Supreme Court order making marriage registration certificates mandatory, the New All-India Muslim Personal Law Board on Wednesday said the community would not accept the directive, as it was an infringement of the Muslim personal law.

Mohammed Hashmi Kanpuri, a member of the board, stated that each and every Muslim was bound with Shariat laws, given by Islam and guaranteed by the country's Constitution.

"Any marriage in Islam is certified by three people including a Kazi, and there is no need for any other certification," he said.

"Muslims are governed by their own rules which are different from the rules of other communities," said Mr Hashmi.

He stated that according to Shariat law, a girl can marry once she attains the age of 16 years, whereas the Constitution allows marriage only after the girl reaches the age of 18.

Taking a swipe at the government's anti-terrorism policies, another board member, Tauqeer Raza, said the community was being victimised in the name of curbing terrorism.

"Every time, a terrorist act takes place, Muslim youth are blamed and taken into custody on mere suspicion, whereas the real culprits are never caught," he said.

The board members were of the view that all the governments in power have adopted the policy of 'use and dump' whenever the issues relating to Muslims have come up.
