Deoband Muftis Neither Know Islam Nor Indian Customs
by Sultan Shahin
A new complication has arisen lately. Some Arab women, journalists and academics, are demanding that now women too should be allowed to have more than one spouse. Polyandry was prohibited in Islam, they argue, because in the times of Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him), it was not possible to determine the father of children in a polyandrous situation. But with DNA tests available now the situation has changed and hence the laws too should change. Laws, they say, cannot be static. They have to be dynamic. Laws should take into account changing human situation.
