It is odd that arrest warrants have been issued over this, as clearly Qur’anic dictates were being followed. Nikah halala is one of the most bizarre and revolting aspects of Islamic law. It is a temporary marriage that allows a woman to return to her previous husband after a divorce. If her husband says “I divorce you” to her three times, she can’t return to him unless and until she marries another man, consummates the marriage, and is in turn divorced by the new husband. This is based on the Qur’an. Allah’s regulations for divorce emphasize regarding women that “men have a degree over them” (Qur’an 2:228). This may be why men can divorce their wives simply by saying, “Talaq” — You are divorced, or I divorce you. Such an easy procedure leads to divorces in a fit of pique, followed by reconciliation — and the Qur’an anticipates this and attempts to head it off by stipulating that a husband who divorces his wife three times cannot reconcile with her until she marries another man and is in turn divorced by him: “And if he has divorced her [for the third time], then she is not lawful to him afterward until she marries a husband other than him” (Qur’an 2:230).
“Arrest warrants against 9 after fatwa to divorce husband, marry another,” IANS, August 25, 2021 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A court in Bangladesh’s Panchagarh has issued arrest warrants for nine people allegedly involved in issuing a fatwa for ‘halala’ marriage that led to a middle-aged couple being isolated for four months in their village.
Aynal Haque, 52, and his wife Jamiran, 42, were targeted by an radical Islamist leader’s ‘fatwa’ (religious edict) calling on Jamiran to marry another man, get divorce from him, and then remarry Aynal. As the couple ignored the diktat, the Islamist leader asked everyone in the neighbourhood in Salimnagar village to isolate the couple as a punishment.
Police probed the incident and submitted the report accusing nine people – M. Shahjahan, Mufti Md Anwar Hossain, M. Nasir Uddin, M. Amir Chan, M. Shaheed, M. Sorman Ali, M. Julhaque, M. Mastafa, and M. Rasel.
Judicial Magistrate M.M. Mahbub Islam issued the warrants after the police submitted an investigation report on Sunday, Court Inspector Anisur Rahman said….

Mullahs sell divorces to women who will obey absurd Islamic law by having sex with the mullah in a so-called ‘temporary marriage’ with the mullah. Then, Islamic law allows them to re-marry their first husband.
It’s a racket and some mullahs are pleased to enjoy this ‘service’ which is incredibly degrading and get paid for it.
Islam is totally absurd and this is a perfect example of its absurdity … and repusiveness.
revereridesagain says
You just know that mullahs and/or lawyers had to be behind this particular bit of Sharia insanity.

It’s not always the women who want this–sometimes the husband just decides he’s been a bit hasty in intoning the “Triple Talaq”–and some Islamic cleric is happy to oblige him.
Of course, here it is the Imam himself who pushed this.
mortimer says
Agree with GI. That is the point of this article. The unlucky women are ‘talaq’-ed by a rash husband who later repents. However, the whole stupidity of Islamic reconciliation is based on a tragic misunderstanding of Matt.5.31:
– “It was also said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of unchastity , makes her commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.” (Matt. 5.310
Whereas the author of the Koran makes an incredibly STUPID misinterpretation of the foregoing NT verse in K.2:230
– “So if he TALAQ’s her, she shall not be lawful to him afterwards, until she marries another husband; then, if he divorces her there is no blame on them both if they return to each other (by marriage), if they think that they can keep within the limits of Allah, and these are the limits of Allah which He makes clear for a people who know. (Sura 2.230)
The commentator Maulana Maududi interprets Sura 2.240 as follows:
-“And if the husband divorces his wife (for the third time), she shall not remain his lawful wife after this (absolute) divorce, unless she marries another husband and the second husband divorces her. (In that case) there is no harm if they [the first couple] remarry ).”
This Islamic teaching further alienates the couple be requiring them both to commit adultery which worsens the resentment.
Certain randy mullahs have made a business of this Islamic ‘reconciliation’ technique. Islam is entirely repulsive. This teaching increase the suffering of both parties.

What disgusting, evil, stupidity, …so much demonic “belief” from the mass-murdering, raper of children, sack of maggot dung, sex-mad slave-trading thief, lying son of satan the devil.
No one with a reasoning brain would believe such filth. The fake ‘prophet’ was so obsessed with sex….obsessed and putting his demonic commands on those who were foolish and evil enough to follow him.
The source of this obsession is clear: There were angels in Heaven who saw the “daughters of men, that they were good-looking,” and coming down to earth, “began taking wives for themselves, all whom they chose.”
They passed this evil obsession on to the evil slug and he liked it so much, he wanted to act the same and to live vicariously through his followers who would also be obsessed with sex….with children, multiple wives, sex slaves and animals.
Pure evil filth.

Those could not have been Angels from the Light.
Sounds more like the acts of demons.

As far as this turd is concerned, no laws were broken as women are little more than property.
The mullah simply used Islamic “law” as a means of getting his rocks off and degrading both the husband and the wife.
This is appalling and with luck the courts will throw this subhuman in jail where it belongs.

Bangladesh: Fatwa requires woman to divorce husband, marry another man, divorce him, and remarry husband
…………….
This sick sh*t is orthodox Islam. The only surprising thing, as Robert Spencer notes, is that Bangladeshi authorities are doing anything about it.
Infidel says
This is probably the last Bangladesh prime minister who even tries to be secular, given how she was sheltered in India after her father’s assassination. After she dies, that country will become another ‘East Pakistan’ again. All the horror stories that we are familiar w/ in Pakistan happen in Bangladesh as well. What’s worse – it’s easier for jihadists to infiltrate India from Bangladesh, as opposed to from Pakistan, since India wisely considers the latter an enemy, but stupidly considers the former an ally
If 2 countries are not people to people friendly, they just can’t be allies. It’s high time politicians the world over realized that basic fact

Sadly true, Infidel.

It is an Islamic legal way for enjoying as many women as possible. Allah really know how to please sex maniac (but pious) muslims.
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
“Police probed the incident and submitted the report accusing nine people …”
What Bangladeshi law were these nine people accused of violating?

It is usually either the husband or the Iman who determines who the woman has to “marry”. I doubt that the guy in question is usually any kind of adonis.
