‘If an individual can have a number of live-in companions, why cannot a Muslim man have a number of wives?’: Samajwadi Party’s ST Hasan

Senior Samajwadi Party chief, ST Hasan who is understood for his inflammatory utterances has requested, “Why does anyone have a problem if we apply Sharia law to ourselves”? He was talking towards the under-consideration Uniform Civil Code within the nation.

“India is a land of unity is diversity. Our country is a bouquet of colorful flowers. When our country got independence, Dr Ambedkar wrote that every person is free to practice and preach their religion. This is written in our constitution. Why is anyone bothered if we want to live our life as per Sharia,” he requested.

According to him, Islam was the primary religion to grant girls rights over their paternal property. “How it is divided amongst boys and girls is a separate matter. The Quran has commanded it. If a Muslim is a sincere believer, he cannot reject the Quran. Even I can’t do it. Only the instructions provided to us by the Quran will be followed.”

He challenged, “They can enact countless laws. We won’t be impacted. Muslims solely adhere to Quran, and they will divide their assets among their offspring in accordance with Sharia. Why is it a problem for anyone,” he questioned and added, “Regarding the issue of the second marriage, I would like to know what your issue is if a man took a second wife with the consent of his first one if she is found to have a serious illness or couldn’t conceive.”

He charged that the federal government had institutionalized immorality and indecency within the nation. “You granted homosexuality and live-in relationships constitutional legitimacy. How is it possible for you to state that don’t marry twice? How can you prevent someone from getting married to multiple women if you can cohabitate with multiple partners in live-in relationships,” he questioned.

“Muslims observe the rules that Allah provided us in the Quran. My point of contention is that no one is troubled by them in any way. These are our personal laws. We will push back strongly against your plans to obliterate them,” the member of Lok Sabha from Moradabad warned. “We have been abiding by the same laws for 75 years. What problems have they caused since then? Has anyone complained if a female’s share of the paternal property is lower than that of a male?”

“What is your problem,” he reiterated. He alleged that it’s not about UCC however preparation for 2024 when the subsequent normal elections are scheduled to be held. “They want to cultivate the seeds of animosity between the Hindus and Muslims who live in this country. BJP leaders are competing to torture Muslims. They rise to prominence in the party in direct proportion to how severely they torment Muslims. This is well understood by the Muslims.”

He additional proclaimed, “I informed you that Sharia law does not bother anyone and that the instructions are already there in the Quran. Every Muslim conforms to the Quran, and anyone who refuses is not a good Muslim. Who could reject the Quran? Any Muslim can be queried about whether or not they comply with the Quran’s teachings. If you don’t want to, switch your religion. How are we to commit to anything else?”

Notably, Uniform Civil Code is a proposal in India to formulate and implement private legal guidelines of residents which apply to all residents equally no matter their faith, gender, and sexual orientation. It has been within the election manifesto of the BJP for the previous a number of years and just lately twenty second Law Commission sought recent solutions from numerous stakeholders, together with public and spiritual organisations, on the identical.

He expressed that the incidence of two cyclonic storms within the house of ten days and the loss of life toll from the coronavirus epidemic are the repercussions of the injustices dedicated by the administration.

In opposition to the Triple Talaq regulation in 2019, he voiced that a person would turn out to be livid if he returned residence to seek out his spouse with one other man.
