The problem in this case is not with marraige, and in any case people are
willing to change things (like making the demand for dowry illegal) associated
with marraige. But I do have a problem with the very nature of polgamy as do
many others. And we can see the passions it generates when one even begins to 
talk about doing anything with the law of polygamy.

 Begining early 20th century, (you might choose to refer to any modern text on
 Indian history - such as the references in John L.Hill book), Gandhi had been
 clever to take the policies of C.R.Das to negate (or be silent - most 
 appropriately) about Moslem tortures in India. This is what I tried to say. At
 that time C.R.Das kept supporting a young Gandhi, who was destined to become 
 one day the `Father of the Nation'. This is how they worked together. As you 
 might see that this was to capture votes (Moslems) only.

Dear Sir,
I am not trying to engage myself in debate about religion or rights of any
sex etc etc. I just had a comment on your above-copied statement.

Your statement would make perfect sense if seen from an outsider's (non-
muslim's, better yet, atheist's (sp?)) point of view. But it does not make
anysense, what so ever, if read from a Muslim's point of view. I guess that
set of all basic rules is still believed to be from Allah. Isn't it? now
re-read your statement!

There is a verse in Quran which says that Allah tests man
in both ways __ in poverty and in wealth. Closest to HIM are
those who do not forget HIM in any state. There is nothing
intrinsically wrong with being wealthy. It is in fact bounty
from Allah. However, there is
seriously wrong with wealth if it doesnot have the "just" 
share for needy (Haq-us-Saail -a- wul mehroom).

It is wrong to pre-judge people whether they have given their
share of the needy or not. Because it is recommended that the
needy be given in a manner that the left hand of the giver should
not let it be known  to his right hand (that he has given).

P.S.

Re: Contradiction in Koran

Who cares.. why don't you guys go and discuss this _whatever_ on
some newsgroup that's meant for this stuff. Dammit.. almost all
the postings on scp are about Islam. One may find it possible to
justify discussing Islam in relation to Pakistan, or Islam
as viewed in Pakistan, or even Islam in general to see how Pakistanis
view Islam. What we have here is people from different backgrounds,
many without much knowledge about the subject, discussing Islamic
issues. What has this discussion got to do with Pakistan, except
for the fact that people from Pakistan are _also_ in the discussion.
Is there any reason why moving this discussion to SRI cannot be
justified. Anyway, I'm nobody to suggest anything. Do whatever you
like.

Now about Karachi rains.. according to what appears to be a "slightly"
exaggerated news I got just now, about 6 (six) inches of rain
fell in Karachi (yesterday??). ........ Telephone lines are in a 
mess. I got a line after trying some 15 times, and got disconnected 
after 2 minutes. Tried again.. got a line and again lost it. Anyway,
it seems this rain has been worst since '77. Around Agha's (Clifton),
water was some 4 feet high (I hope this is the exaggerated part). About
500 cars got stuck. Some 27 people have died. Minister for religious
affairs has accused Benazir of blasphemy.. ooops.. anyway.. that's
all for now.

The majority of most in USA definitely don't know what "marriage" is
let alone its reality. Otherwise, they would not be so blatantly
violating the contract __ the society aiding it and law abetting
it__ making a mockery of that "contractual" obligation.

Its predominant use here is to get tax relief and health insurance.

I would consider a man allowed to have more than one wife(yes under
exceptional circumstances) an advantage for men.  Can you state one 
advantage women have in Islam over men. If they do not have to support the
family, then it means Muslim women are not encouraged to be educated,
or they are taught to be self centered (even if your husband and children are
starving go and buy yourself new clothes).  Suppose the unthinkable happens
the man is suddenly out of work, is it recommended that the wife to divorce
the husbund even though she is easily able to support her family. As
I see it there is simply no advantage for muslim women in this modern
times.  And if some sadistic person comes into power, he misuses Islam
to force women to wear burkhas.
