Polygamy is not a religious practice, government tells SC

[unbiasedopinion]

In today's world its still valid in more than one country. As you will see.



"Far Reaching Implications of Gender Gaps
In most countries across the world, the population is made up of more men than women. Some nations, however, have a population made up of more women. The gender imbalance in these countries can be traced back to war and conflicts. Studies show that this disparity is not desirable. These countries have a high number of well- educated women who earn a high level of income but cannot find partners. Gender disparities in wages also put an economic strain on these countries. Men are more likely to suffer from mental health problems since more pressure is put on them to provide for the family."

Islam cares about humans and their problems, that's why it allowed upto 4 wives at that time to cater for the gender gap. The reason for gender gap was wars, conflicts that would leave women widows and children orphan. And would result in disparity in gender ratio.

However, where the number of male is equivalent to females or number of males exceeds females, polygamy should stop because the reason and need for it becomes redundant. So india or any country with Muslim population can back it's action with recent research on gender ratio.

THis is scientific reasoning, I am asking for the historical reasoning which you suggested in your earlier post when you claimed why the polygamy started in first place. Also support you reasoning with actual scientific link where it says women in some countries could not find partners because they are well educated women and earn high level of income and that is the reason polygamy was suggested.

Who the fk says that it is not religious but social ?
Damnit if religion allows me that doesn't mean it is social. You can restrict my choice because as a person I have choice. I should be free to choose, if I want more than wife or not. Who are you to discriminate me against that.
-- speaking as a person who oppose this move even if it were in Pakistan, not targeting because it is India

Do you allow this for women as well? You ok for them having multiple husbands? In case yes, then i will support you move to start a movement in pakistan by signing an online petition for you.

A Hindu guy may have relations with 30 women, even he marries two of them, why always muslims are target of everything.
I know many many Hindus, even some celebrities who have two wives. It is not mentioned in anywhere in Hindu scriptures that polygamy is prohibited. Even some avtars have many many wives(according to Hindu scriptures).

One or two abberations do not make it generic. we are talking about masses.
We Hindus unlike Islam, allow changes to our interpretations of our literature according to the time and the need. Yes, polygamy was there in the Hindus earlier during the times of Rajas, maharajas etc. But it was made illegal as per Hindu Marriage Act 1955, passed in 1956. Hence polygamy is no more legal for Hindu faiths. You will find few exceptions here and there (In Goa, it is allowed, so are few tribes , there population in negligible btw to consider it a generic case to label whole hindus), but overall It is not legally allowed.

Ate you acting dumb or you really are?
Its a religious practise given to me as a choice. Its not a culture nor social norm. Though i personally wouldn't marry twice at same time but I would also fight when my religious rights are restricted.
Better argument could have been niqaab, the full face veil. That is social practise not religious.

So you and others failed to answer me

Good move...
I hope the outcome will be in favour of modernity & progressiveness, ban Polygamy, Triple Talaq, Halala along with no gov benefits to those having more than two kids....

Who prescribed god to prescribe what he prescribed? And who knows whether he/she/it prescribed it actually or not?

Who prescribed the prescriber and who prescribed the prescriber before him and what about who prescribed him before that .
God is one no partners no diety none before him none after him
ONE God who created everything

You carry on lost in your circle going round and round but we don't deal with those rubbish ideas as many many others

Yes we know as we're Muslims and love our God and trust and believe him in everything he has told/taught us in/through his message/messages .
Thank you Allah for letting us wake up this morning in your beautiful world on this beautiful day .

Thank you Allah for letting us wake up this morning in your beautiful world on this beautiful day .

I also love your god, for I believe, IF god exists and is one, then yours is same as mine, or anyone else's. Perhaps the message got diluted somewhere down the line. Or maybe the messenger(s), being human themselves, were not able to correctly comprehend the god's message (or were unable to make other humans understand it in true spirit).

But somehow, rationalist in me doubts - God just created everything, presumably for no reason other than his/her/its amusement (being alone can be boring) and then left us to either prey for him/her/it every day or do whatever we want to anyways, citing that it is the will of god.

Can you make your question more clear? You seem like confused and contradicting yourself. You call my link scientific reasoning and ask for historical reasoning ........ but then you go on and ask me for a scientific link? What I posted is logical enough reason to make any human understand why it was, is or will be a logical solution in any society where number of women exceeds the number of men. Either you can accept it and look at what I suggested indian government to do or you can beat around the bush and make illogical contradictory demands from me.

 

[SorryNotSorry]

Are Hindus getting married here r Muslims ?


Then you might as well shut up if u can't do anything about it.
That amounts to Desi dog barking in foreign land

Please try not to attack someone personally. Refrain from using insults. Try and carry on a healthy discussion.
Thanks

 

[terry5]

Only one God no matter what you call it so yours mine he's hers is same .

You may have doubts I also do at times but something in me knows about God and it's him I call to automatically when I'm in need for help and in difficulty so yes I believe inshaAllah.


Edit:You edited your post after I posted this reply so missed your other points

You reasoning is scientific but based on assumption that where society has more well educated earning high income are finding it difficult to find partners. I asked for the link from where do you get this assumption or on what basis did you make this? Because polygamy in muslim world is age old practice where women never surpassed men in earnings and in education. hence want to know how is this point valid in current debate of polygamy in indian muslim society.

There is never a need to turn a productive debate into a personal fight by hurling insults- because your opinion on the matter doesn't match someone elses'. That is all I'm saying. Cheers!

Triple Talaq - harms many Muslim women in India, and many scholars argue that it is not even true to the Quran. It should be banned.
Polygamy however should be allowed for Muslims. It's a very personal matter, a matter of faith- I don't see it encroaching on the rights of other Indians, or hurting other people's sentiments. So as long as the adults are consenting - they should be allowed be married under Muslim Law.
Just my 2 cents
