Man in Lahore jailed for 6 months for getting married without permission from first wife

[Abdullah719]

A man in Lahore was fined Rs200,000 and sentenced to six months in prison by a local court on Wednesday for getting married for a second time without taking permission from his first wife.

The man subsequently submitted surety bonds worth Rs50,000 to avoid immediate imprisonment. He also has recourse to challenge his conviction.

Judicial magistrate Jawad Naqvi, who announced the verdict, had been hearing a case filed by petitioner Ayesha Bibi, who said that her husband, Shahzad Saqib, had married for the second time without getting her permission.

"To get married without your first wife's permission is breaking the law," she had argued in her appeal.

She asked that her husband's second marriage be declared illegal by the court.

The magistrate subsequently awarded Saqib six months in prison and a Rs200,000 fine.

The Council of Islamic Ideology has often criticised the existing law, which requires written approval from the first wife if her husband wants to marry a second time.

So triple talaq doesn't work in Pakistan? And why would his wife give him permission to remarry?

This is about polygamy not divorce.

The 'triple talaq' has absolutely nothing to do with Islam, but is an outcome of ignorance about Qur'anic Verses relating to divorce.

Divorce - whether initiated by men or women - is a process. It is a complete fallacy to believe a man can utter the word 'Talaq' three times in order to obtain a divorce from his wife.

Regarding your second question: women often grant permission to their husbands to marry a second time, because this is better than breaking up a marriage and family.

I understand that polygamy was permitted in India, and is part of Hinduism, until it was outlawed after Independence. We had a very close Indian friend who had two wives, the families, with their children, all lived together and, to be honest, I have yet to meet a happier bunch of people.

What's interesting is that the permission thing is made up in Pakistani law cause in actual Islamic law and Arab countries, you don't need the first wife's permission to take a second wife. Pakistan has relatively more progressive laws than most Muslim countries but this isn't an Islamic rule.

I know of a couple that have been living together without marriage and are probably the happiest couple I have seen doesn't meant zilch in real world,and you being a woman would had helped had you not had a soft spot for polygamy.

Marriage as per Actual Islamic Law is a contract. And in a contract you can put pre-determined clauses which can include anything like asking wife's permission to marry another woman, not giving triple talaq (notwithstanding whether triple talaq is permissible or not) etc.

Its just that due to either social pressure or simple ignorance that women/woman's family dont exercise these rights of their.

I know many families where this so called "religious" uncles have some secret marriage relations with. Even the new bride's family are completely ready for this "secret marriage" because they think the girl is sitting in home doing nothing/ with no one to get married to /is a widow. The parents justification for this alliance is that who will take care of her after they die? They just want to get rid of their daughter's responsibility. The new brides then spent their rest of their life as "secret wives" of these uncles with no share of their property. Sometimes these bhudda uncles dies before her parents and the cycle starts again.

I felt terribly bad for the first wife. Second wife had no option for anything here as she was a liability for her parents then. The parents say they are poor and they had no options left. The guy say i am going to give her a new life which no one bothered to give her...........everything is soo messed up.
