System of men marrying 3-4 women needs to be changed to give justice to Muslim women: Himanta Biswa

way2barak, Dec.9: Addressing a public meeting in Morigaon, Assam Chief Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma said that the system of men marrying three-four women without giving divorce to the previous spouse needs to be changed to give justice to Muslim women. No man in independent India can be given such a right, added the Chief Minister.

“We are trying to bring forward ‘Sabka Saath Sabka Vikash’. We don’t want that the children of Muslims to become Imam by studying in Madrasas. We want that they should study in schools, colleges and studying in Morigaon Medical College so that they can become doctors, engineers,” stated Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma.

Taking a dig at the AIUDF supremo Badaruddin Ajmal, the Chief Minister said, “There are some leaders in Assam like Badruddin Ajmal who said women must give birth to children as soon as possible. A woman’s childbirth process cannot be compared with a field. I have repeatedly said that, our women can give birth to 20-25 children, but Ajmal will have to bear their expenses for food, clothes, education etc. If Ajmal wouldn’t pay expenses, then nobody has the right to lecture on childbirth.”
