“No Muslim man should marry three women; don’t give talaq”: Assam CM

The diktat may trigger a row among Muslim community.

Assam: Interfering with the Islamic Shari’ah, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced a diktat which may trigger a row among Muslim community.

He proclaimed that Muslim man should marry only one woman and should not give talaq. Instead he advised them to give divorce legally. He also advocated for an equal share of the property for the female members of the family.

“Assam government is very clear that no Muslim man should marry three women. Don’t give Talaq, give divorce legally. An equal share of the property should be given to daughters like sons. Give 50 per cent share of the property to the wife. Views of the government and the common Muslims are same.” ANI quoted Sarma as saying during a press conference on Wednesday.
