Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of Princeton Readings in Religions brings together the work of more than thirty scholars of Islam and Muslim societies in South Asia to create a rich anthology of primary texts that contributes to a new appreciation of the lived religious and cultural experiences of the world's largest population of Muslims. The thirty-four selections--translated from Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Bengali, Tamil, Gujarati, Hindavi, Dakhani, and other languages--highlight a wide variety of genres, many rarely found in standard accounts of Islamic practice, from oral narratives to elite guidance manuals, from devotional songs to secular judicial decisions arbitrating Islamic law, and from political posters to a discussion among college women affiliated with an "Islamist" organization. Drawn from premodern texts, modern pamphlets, government and organizational archives, new media, and contemporary fieldwork, the selections reflect the rich diversity of Islamic belief and practice in South Asia. Each reading is introduced with a brief contextual note from its scholar-translator, and Barbara Metcalf introduces the whole volume with a substantial historical overview.
Download or read book Triple Talaq written by Salman Khurshid and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Triple talaq, or talaq-e-bidat, is one of the most debated issues in the Muslim world. From antiquity, the Muslim faith has been plagued by the portrayal of Muslim men regularly misusing this perceived “right” to divorce their wives instantly by simply uttering “talaq” thrice. The Supreme Court of India, in the landmark judgment of Shayara Bano v. Union of India, has taken the step to declare this form of talaq unconstitutional and to strike down its practice. In Triple Talaq: Examining Faith, Salman Khurshid, who intervened to offer the court an amicus brief in the “Triple Talaq case”, offers a straightforward yet comprehensive overview of this complicated issue. Explaining the reasons behind the court’s decision, he dives deep into other aspects of this practice: why it is wrong; why it has thrived; what was the judicial history of this issue; what the Quran and Muslim religious leaders say about it; and what the comparative practices in other countries are. A handy guide to this landmark decision and what it means for Muslims in India, this book is written not just for the theologian, but also for the common reader.
Download or read book The Muslim Women Protection of Rights on Marriage Bill 2019 written by Salim Khan Anmol and published by Sakha Global Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-08-15 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill 2019; New English Latest Edition Marriage is said to be the union of two people and is seen as the purest and oldest institution in India. The object of marriage for every religion is different. For example, marriage in Hindus is considered to be a ‘dharma’, but every religion places an obligation to get married for some or other reason. Where marriages among Hindus are considered a sacred institution, marriage among Muslims is seen as a contract. Unlike Hindu Law, Mohamedan Law, or Muslim Law is not codified. This leads to chaos and confusion regarding the various ceremonies and authenticity of various things related to marriage, like consent, age, divorce, maintenance, etc. In order to deal with different problems that arose due to the non-codification of Muslim law, the parliament passed various acts. The article explains all these acts and their important provisions. It also describes the nature and essential conditions of a Muslim marriage. Nature of Muslim marriage Marriage in Muslim law is known as Nikah. It is an Arabic word which means “union of two people”. Baillie’s Digest defines Muslim marriage as a contract done to legalise sexual relationships and the procreation of children, while on the other hand, in Hedaya (a guide or commentary on Islamic Law), nikah means carnal conjunction in its primitive sense. As said by the Prophet of Islam, marriage is his sunna (practices of the Prophet Muhammad) and his followers must obey his practices and follow them properly. When we talk about the nature of Muslim marriage, a question that always arises is whether it is a sacrament or a contract. Some jurists opined that marriage in Muslims is a civil contract while others argue that it has a sacrament attached to itself. Thus, while studying the nature of Muslim marriage, three different aspects are taken into consideration. These are: Legal aspect Social aspect Religious aspect Legal aspect of Muslim marriage The legal aspect says that among Muslims, marriage is a civil contract because it has similar characteristics to a contract. These are: Like a contract, there is a proposal i.e., Ijab by one party and acceptance i.e., Qubul by the other party. In a contract-free consent plays an important role. Similarly, there can be no marriage without the consent of the parties, and such consent must not be obtained through fraud, coercion, force or undue influence. If a minor is married by their guardians, then the minor has a right to repudiate the marriage on attaining the age of majority, which is the same as the age of puberty in Muslims. This option of puberty is also known as khyar-ul-bulugh. Similarly, a contract entered into by a guardian on behalf of a minor can be set aside or controlled by him on attaining a majority. The parties to a marriage are allowed to enter into any kind of ante-nuptial or post-nuptial agreement if it is enforceable by law. The only condition is that it must be reasonable and not contrary to their religion. The terms of marriage in the nikahnama can be altered according to the wishes of the bride and groom, but it must be within the limits of the law. In the case of Abdul Kadir v. Salima (1886), it was held that Muslim marriage is a contract and not a sacrament.
Download or read book Triple Talaq written by Furqan Ahmad and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The long standing controversy among various group of ulamaa on the issue of 'triple talaq' once again has become a burning issue and is hotly debated. A fatwa (juristic verdict) on the issue which appeared before the national press flared up the controversy. Last year three Muftis of Jamat Ahl-i Hadith, according to their Maslak (Law), gave a verdict holding three pronouncements of talaq, all together at single sitting as not to be considered effective under Shariah which requires an interval of one month between one pronouncement and the other, as the procedure of talaq, as mentioned in the Quran. On April 15, justice H.N. Tilhari of the Lucknow bench of Allahabad High Court pronounced that the practice of uttering the word 'Talaq' at one go to effect an 'irrevocable' divorce was both unconstitutional and illegal. This judgement worked as fuel to fire and increased the intensity of the debate. The book does not go into the intricacies of the contents of the judgement. But the view of Ahl-i Hadith ulamaa which is known to all on the issue is indeed thought-provoking for our Hanafi ulamaa of the time. The object of the present study is to examine afresh the longstanding controversy over this topic and to seek a solution acceptable to people of divergent views. The work is based on primary books of Islamic jurisprudence and primary source of Islamic fiqh are consulted to present the true picture of law on the subject. The book would be useful not only for students and researchers of Islamic law but will also help lawyers and judges in dealing with cases according to the letter and spirit of Shariah.
