Muslim women call for nikah registration - The Times of India

LUCKNOW: The All India Muslim Personal Law Board is facing the wrath of a Muslim women's group, which has vowed to stop the maulvis from demanding a rollback of compulsory registration of marriages. Ahead of its proposed general body meeting at Mumbai, where the apex Muslim law body is to formally make its demand to the Centre, Muslim women are preparing to fight "gender excesses" by maulvis.

The Bhartiya Muslim Mahila Andolan (BMMA) says it will file a PIL in the Lucknow High Court on Monday, pleading for mandatory registration of 'nikah' apart from taking the issue to the public "if AIMPLB carries out of its threat of hitting the streets over the issue".

"They will find themselves at the other end of the same street," warned BMMA president Naesh Hasan. In 2010, hundreds of BMMA members had marched in Lucknow in support of three women charged with assaulting qazis of Sultan-ul-Madaris after their husbands procured one-sided divorce decrees. The militant band had, much to the chagrin of the ulema, succeeded in forcing the entry of the victims in their marital home and had kept a vigil to ensure they weren't harassed.

"AIMPLB had earlier held demonstrations on Shah Bano and later Imrana issues and had its way. But women lost out in the bargain," Hasan told TOI on Friday. "The Board must understand that this is no more a Shah Bano generation. We will not be forced to succumb to a biased diktat," Hasan said.

Reacting to the warning given by the Board to the Centre that if their demands are not met they will hold public demonstrations, Hasan said: "Women would face them in streets. We are no more scared because we know we are right."

Hasan said compulsory registration will be a deterrent against child marriages. Many Muslim communities consider a girl marriageable after she attains puberty or turns 15. "Then, since the registration is already in force in West Bengal, Odisha, Assam, Bihar and Jammu & Kashmir and has been accepted in Maharashtra and Gujarat in past , why should UP women be deprived of their legitimate rights?" she asked.

Rubbishing the contention of the Board members that "nikahnama" should be taken as proof of marriage, Hasan claimed most Muslim marriages begin and end with a "qubool hai" declaration from the parties. Since signing the "nikahnama" is not a prerequisite, it's overlooked.

This is exactly what i was talking about- Muslims should take on the Idiots in ther community on their own just like the Hindus :kick: the nuts of Nutjobs in their own religion. It will lead to more positive outlook on the Muslim community. But i would be happier, if they had said a word on uniform civil code

All marriages should be registered. Mine is, my parents is. I have my wife's name in my passport too!!

Why people shy away from registering marriages is mystery unless they have "other" ideas!

Imagine the bloody marriage registrar took 200 from me to do register back in 2006.

That amount is nothing compared to the money involved in Marriages

oxymoron.. political parties thrive on it.

Muslims are also human beings.

They have brains.

But they are tossed by vested interests who wish to keep them guessing and in doubt about the intentions!

It is same in the rural areas for all communities.

But education is overhauling the vested interest and their stranglehold of societies (and it is not confined to Muslims alone)

Check out the Khaps!

And the political parties wallow and thrive in such stupidity! It is their staple!

It would keep child marriages in check too. Good step.

They thrive on it only because people allow it to sir.

"The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it."- Albert Einstein

If the people dont vote to these idiots when they are doing BS, then there wont be any political party which will do BS. After all the politicians are there to cater to our needs
