LUCKNOW: A day after the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) said that marriage between Muslims and non-Muslims was ‘regretful’ and ‘unfortunate’, more clerics joined the chorus on Friday.
While Shia cleric Maulana Saif Abbas said inter-religion marriages were not valid in Islam, Sunni cleric Maulana Sufiyan Nizami suggested that youngsters should marry within their own faith to keep controversies at bay.
“Marriage between a Muslim and a non-Muslim is not validated in Islam. If a couple wants to get married, one of them should convert. If one wants to convert to Hinduism, one may do so and get married under the Special Marriages Act, but marrying and following two different faiths is not valid in religious terms,” Maulana Saif Abbas said.
Maulana Sufiyan Nizami added that the statement by AIMPLB was the need of the hour since since Muslims were being accused of maliciously converting women of other faith to Islam by marriage.
“Youngsters should marry within their faith, especially in the present times when inter-religion marriages stoke controversies. Like AIMPLB said, parents and guardians should be vigilant of their child’s activities. Imams and clerics should advertise AIMPLB’s stand from mosques and madrasas,” he said.
