Allahabad High Court says Muslim man can marry multiple times if wives are treated equally
New Delhi: The Allahabad High Court ruled that a Muslim man can marry more than once if he respects all of his wives equally and follows the standards outlined in Islamic law. The court, however, emphasized that the opportunity for polygamy is frequently abused by men for selfish purposes.
while hearing a petition filed by a man called Furkan to invalidate the chargesheet, cognisance, and summons issued against him by a Moradabad court, Justice Arun Kumar Singh Deswal made the statement.
The case, which dates back to 2020, a woman filed a complaint alleging that Furkan had married her without disclosing that he was already married. She also accused him of rape. Based on her complaint, a case was registered at the Moradabad police station, and summons were issued to Furkan and two others.
Furkan’s counsel argued that the woman had acknowledged entering into a relationship with him before marriage and contended that the second marriage could not constitute an offence under Section 494 of the Indian Penal Code, which deals with bigamy as muslim men are allowed to marry more than once.
The High Court referring to the Shariat Act, 1937, noted in its 18-page judgement, that under Muslim personal law, a man may marry up to four times, subject to the condition that he treats all wives equally. The court said Furkan’s second marriage was valid as both women were Muslim.
Justice Deswal also expressed support for the implementation of a Uniform Civil Code, remarking that issues of marriage and divorce should be addressed in accordance with personal law until such a code is enacted. The matter has been listed for the next hearing on May 26.
