In a major ideological shift, the Darul Uloom at Deoband has advised against multiple marriages, a common act under Islamic law.
Replying to the query of a married man, who wanted to wed a second time, the institution said having one wife was 'more Indian', as well as logical in modern times. The man has two children from his first marriage.
"According to Shariah, it is lawful to keep two wives at the same time. But it is generally not acceptable in Indian customs," Darul Ifta, the online fatwa department of the famous Sunni seminary, said in its reply.
"Here in India, it is like inviting hundreds of problems. Moreover, the husband generally cannot do justice and cannot maintain equality between two wives. Hence, it is better to have only one wife as the Quran has said. You should discard the idea of a second marriage; otherwise you would feel sorry."
