الهند: التزام القضاء بتفسير العلماء للنصوص الشرعية

- خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

ناقشت اللجنة التنفيذية لمجلس قانون الأحوال الشخصية لمسلمي عموم "الهند" قضية تفسير النصوص القرآنية أمام القضاء أثناء لقائها بمدينة "لوكنو" عاصمة ولاية "أوتر براديش" الهندية، وذلك لبيان أنه من الضروري رجوع القضاء للخبراء والمتخصصين من علماء الإسلام في تفسير النصوص القرآنية دون الاعتماد على القوانين في تفسيرها.

وقد أكد أحد أعضاء اللجنة ضرورة وضع حل دائمٍ لنحو هذه المواقف؛ حمايةً للقوانين الأسرية المعتمدة على الشريعة الإسلامية، وللحيلولة دون وقوع التضارب والتناقض في الأحكام.

وتتضمن قائمة القضايا المقرر نقاشها: إجبار المسلمين على تسجيل وتوثيق حالات الزواج لدى الجهات الحكومية، والمطالبة بعدم اعتبار الزواج غير المسجل لدى الحكومة غير قانوني؛ المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

Muslim board to meet today in Lucknow

The Executive Committee of All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) will take up the the issues related to interpretation of Islamic texts by the judicial authorities during its meeting in Lucknow on Sunday. The meeting will also outline the agenda for its general meeting to be held in Ujjain on March 22-23.

"Several court decisions have interpreted the Quran. As per judicial norms, the judiciary should accept the interpretation of religious texts as done by the experts. The additional interpretation of the Quran by the court leads to conflicting situations," SQR Ilyas, executive committee member and spokesperson, AIMPLB, said. The issue will be taken up at the executive committee meeting of the board on Sunday.

Ilyas favoured that there should be a permanent solution to such situations to safeguard personal laws which are based on Islamic sharia. He also stated that the practice in Muslim countries should also not be cited while interpreting Islamic laws. "We are not concerned with other Muslim countries and the laws adopted there. For us, we are only confined to the situation that personal laws of Muslims are adhered and respected in India," Ilyas remarked.

Other items on the agenda include the issue of compulsory registration of marriages. The AIMPLB is against the provision for compulsory registration of marriages. It wants that it should be made optional for Muslims and the Qazis solemnising Muslim marriages should be bestowed with marriage registrar status with their documents to be treated at par with government records. Further, the marriages which are not registered should not be declared illegal. Ilyas claimed that such a system is already in place in West Bengal. "In West Bengal, the Qazis are registered with Waqf Board and hence their registration is treated as valid," he said.
