Puttur: Man flees after third wife exposes his secret marriages


Daijiworld Media Network – Puttur (SP)

Puttur, Jun 27: Rifai Musliyar from Murnad in Madikeri taluk of Kodagu district, presently working as teacher of a Madrassa at Manjeshwar in Kasargod district, has fled after complaint about keeping his previous wives in the dark about his marriage plans was filed. Musliyar was about to marry a fourth time, when his third wife from Kavu, who he had married two months back, filed police complaint.

Musliyar has been reportedly marrying girls with an eye on obtaining dowry.

Musliyar has three children from his first wife, it is said, and he married a second time without the knowledge of the first wife. Thereafter, he married Tahira from Kavu in the taluk, duly lying to her that he was a bachelor. It is said that he had received dowry in the form of 20 sovereigns of gold ornaments and two lac rupees in cash. The gold he received during the third marriage has already been sold, it is said.

His first wife, Naseema, came to know that Musliyar had put up an application in the local sub-registrar's office for fourth marriage. She visited the office and saw in the notice board the marriage application of her husband. Although she sought help from Dakshina Kannada deputy commissioner, A B Ibrahim, who was on a visit to that office that day, he reportedly expressed helplessness. She then came before the media persons along with three children and explained about her ordeal.

In the meanwhile, the third wife of Musiyar also came to know about the fourth marriage of her husband. She complained to the town police station here against her husband as well as a marriage broker named Khader, seeking action against them. She has alleged that the above broker had lied to her and her family members about the marital status of Rifai Musliyar, and that the gold her family had given during the marriage had been sold off by her husband. She also said that she came to know about his previous marriages after Naseema found out about the falsehood of her husband.

Family members of Tahira feel that the accused would have married more than four times, adding that his other wives might not yet be knowing about his other marriages.

    Is it high time to consider common law for all citizens? Otherwise people continue to marry any number of times, if required by changing religion temporarily (like Dharmendra - Hemamalini)

    Knowing the background case throughly court should not have permuted their marriage. They changed religion only to marry. Hindu , Muslim, Christian Personal laws are for that particular religious followers but not to misuse. They used Muslim personal law because second marriage is not allowed in Hindu law. Why the court allowed to misuse Muslim personal?

    They did not misuse the law, but they have taken the advantage of multiple laws in a single country.
    Why should not we have a common law? If many marriages are acceptable, let it be extended to all Hindus, Christians etc..
    It is up to one's consciousness to go for one wife or many wives.
    Otherwise, do not allow for any community. So let law treat everyone UNIFORMLY.

    Mr Ahmed ..I agree With you .But this musliyar is half cooked musliyar..They are not following this verse of Quran. They are preaching muslims can marry 4 times..that is called 'ANUKULA SASTRA'..people of the community should teach a lesson to these kind of people.

    If we examine the Quranic evidence we find the concession given in the following verse:

    “And if you fear that you may not be just to the orphans, then you may marry whom you please of the women: two, and three, and four. But if you fear you will not be fair, then only one, or what your right hand possesses. This is best that you do not face financial hardship.” 4:3

    What is immediately noticeable from the above words is that the word "if" (inn in Arabic) at the beginning of the verse is a conditional word. What follows after the word "if" is thus a condition that must be met in order for what comes after it to be possible.
    This means that if a man is not supporting any orphans nor being entrusted to protect the possessions of orphans, then it is not lawful for him to marry more than one wife. If a man is supporting orphans or acting as a guardian to them, then taking a second wife for the purpose of looking after the orphans and giving them a mother figure would be allowed.

    In verse 4:2 God speaks of orphans, protecting their money, and warning against consuming their money unjustly. God is speaking to the men who are entrusted with the protection of orphans and their money. If a man fears that he cannot perform the duty as a guardian to the orphans and their money on his own, and in a just manner, then he is permitted to marry the woman of his choice to bring a motherly figure who would support the man in the raising of the orphans. God allows 2, 3 and 4 (depending on the number of orphans the man is taking care of).

    It must be stated here that this concession is allowed purely for the benefit of the orphans and not to allow men a varied sexual life.

    We also note the very important words in 4:3:
    “If you fear you will not be fair, then only one, or what your right hand possesses.”

    These words must be read in conjunction with the following Quranic words:
    “You will not be able to treat all women equally even if you wish to do so.” 4:129

    I am not giving any religious colour, I only told how our "secular" country runs on bloody religious appeasements...!!

    Even if a Muslim marries any number of girls, law can not do anything. Even is a Muslim gives Talaq to any number of wifes, again law can not touch him.
    Our law itself is religious based man...:-)
    By the way, Mohan Kumar case is murder charges. If Mohan Kumar would have just married 20 odd girls, he would have been puniched based on the law, just because he is Hindu. If he shows some documents that he is conveted to Islam, he would be let free. This is our countries law.. :-)
    We muslim men should enjoy the law of India at th cost of others including Muslim women.

    By the way Ramzan Kareem...

    Dear bro.
    Muslim law doesn't allow any number of marriage. Please know the law properly before commenting. First of all A person cannot marry second one without the permission of his spouse. Then if the spouse agrees he should be able to take care of both equally, may it be financially, love, and he should treat both equally in all aspects.if he cannot do that then he is not allowed to marry. What this idiot man did is completely illegal. Sharia law does not permit to marry.
    Thank you.

    I was telling the same what you are referring. As long as other wives agree & he treats all of them equally, he can go for any number of marriages. Indian law can not catch him legally, as Muslim law board protects him. Politicians too support Sharia law to appease Muslim men (read Sha Bano case). That is why, subject case idiot has no fear.

    Hi master, mlore

    Without knowing which community I am, you are just commenting. I am not giving any communal colour to the issue. I only mention the fact that a Muslim i India can take the shelter of Muslim Law Board and play anything in the matter of Nikah and Talaq.
    I am surprised when you tell his previous wife gives permission for the another marriage. Any lady in the world will not happily allow her husband to undergo another marriage. If allows, most probably it is by force, not by will.

    Why people like Kukkikatte Nawaz is keeping quite?
    All are scared to go against him because finally he will hide behind Muslim Law Board which protects him. They "somehow" pressurise the poor wives to give their permission and close the matter conveniently.

    What a foolish logic...There is court to deal with it...You or me are free to file a petition in court ...Nobody is supporting the crime of this person ....Dont have a narrow think RSRB ...
    By the by I have not pointed at which religion you are it is you who brought religion in to this matter...I am just telling it happens in every religion....I am concerned why central govt is quiet on bringing UCL

    Dear master, mlore

    In India Muslim Personal Law Board protects multiple married person. That means in India the law is based on religion. RSRB need not have to give any communal colour for it, because before RSRB's birth itself this issue is coloured...!
    Unfortunately all those idiots who think of 2nd marriage do not fear because they know IPC can not touch them as long as Muslim Personal Law Board protects their interest.
    By the way, I support Sharia court. It is excellent as long as it ensures cutting hand of thieves and cutting head for rapists etc. But in India Sharia law is used only to protect those who undergo multiple marriages... :-(
