Bengali AG Wants Anti-Islam Amendments

Bangladesh Attorney General has called for changing the country’s Muslim personal law to allow equal inheritance for Muslim men and women and ban Muslim men from getting a second wife.

“If a family does not have a male child, the female child should be treated as one for succession,” Attorney General Mahbubey Alam was quoted by Bangladesh 24.com on Saturday, June 22.

“Even if there is no male child, it has to be assumed there is one.”

The shocking views were shared by Alam during a discussion on suggested amendments to the Code of Criminal Procedure (CRPC) 1898.

Under the current law, Muslim girls inherit half of her father’s property if she has no brothers.

The rest goes to hr uncles, aunts and grandparents, according to Islamic shari`ah law.

The Bangladeshi attorney general claimed that the amendment would benefit thousands of families and female children.

Bangladesh is the world's third-largest Muslim majority nation with a population of some 148 million.

The country has a secular legal system but in matters related to inheritance and marriage Muslims follow Sharia`h.

The secular notions of the country were first enshrined in 1972 constitution drafted under the leadership of the country's founding father, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the father of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

Islam, as a divine religion, sets down rules that strike a balance between men's responsibilities and women's rights.

Islam gives the girl half of her brother's share in inheritance because Islamic Law doesn't oblige her to spend any money on anybody other than herself.

On the other hand, Muslim man, who is usually the bread-winner of the family, is obliged to spend on his wife, his children, his brothers, his sisters, and his mother and father.

Adding to the controversy, Alam suggested amendments to CRPC to ban Muslim men from getting a second wife.

“Muslim men will have to be denied a second marriage because this is cause for tears for so many women,” Alam said.

“During my last four and half years as Attorney General, I have seen so many women ruined as their husbands went for a second marriage,” he said.
