Dr. Mahmuda Mitu Delivers a Strong Statement on Justice-Based Conditions for Multiple Marriages

Dr. Mahmuda Mitu

Highlights

  • Dr. Mahmuda Mitu stresses that Islamic rulings must be accepted without personal debate or logic.

  • She reminds that Islam permits multiple marriages only with strict conditions.

  • According to her, the central condition for multiple marriages is justice (Insaaf).

  • She argues that in today’s reality, establishing full justice even with one wife is difficult.

  • She calls for equal emphasis on both the Sunnah of multiple marriages and its prerequisite condition of justice.

Joint Chief Organizer of NCP, Dr. Mahmuda Mitu, published a reflective social media post highlighting misunderstandings surrounding Islamic permission for men to marry more than one woman. She began her statement by referring to Allah as-

তিনি আল-হাকিম। তিনি প্রজ্ঞাময়, বিচক্ষণ, সর্বজ্ঞানী।আল্লাহর কোনো হুকুমকে পৃথিবীর তর্ক-বিতর্ক, অজুহাত বা ব্যক্তিগত যুক্তি দিয়ে অমান্য করার অধিকার একজন মুসলিমের নেই। আল্লাহর আদেশকে সম্মান করা এবং বিনা দ্বিধায় মান্য করা ,এটাই ঈমান ।

Translation: He is Al-Hakim — the All-Wise, the Most Judicious, the All-Knowing. A Muslim has no right to reject or oppose any command of Allah based on worldly debates, excuses, or personal reasoning. Honoring Allah’s commands and obeying them without hesitation — that is true faith.

She explained that although Islam allows a man to marry up to four women, the permission is strictly conditioned. The most central and indispensable requirement, she noted, is absolute justice (Insaaf). She clarified that while the law exists, its correct implementation requires fairness, responsibility, and moral accountability  a standard that is difficult to maintain for many.Dr. Mitu’s key argument stated:

আল্লাহ চাইলে একজনকে চার বিয়ের অনুমতি দিন বা দশ হিকমত তাঁরই। কিন্তু আমরা ভুলে যাই, ইসলামে চার বিয়ের অনুমতি আছে ঠিকই, কিন্তু কঠোর শর্ত সাপেক্ষে। সেই শর্তের কেন্দ্রবিন্দু হলো ইনসাফ। পরিপূর্ণ ন্যায়বিচার।

Translation: If Allah wills, He may grant permission for a person to marry four or even ten — the wisdom belongs only to Him. But we often forget that though Islam allows up to four marriages, it is strictly conditional. The center of that condition is justice  complete and perfect fairness.

She also voiced that if religious society emphasizes the Sunnah of polygamy, then it must similarly emphasize the obligation of achieving the required level of fairness and dignity towards women. According to her, the honor and respect Islam grants to women should be upheld before discussing multiple marriages.

এবং চার বিয়ের সুন্নত যেভাবে স্টাবলিশ করা
হয়েছে একই ভাবে আমার উপরের লাইন স্টাবলিশ করা উচিত।
ইসলাম স্ত্রীকে যে সম্মান দিয়েছে সেই সম্মান দেয়ার সামর্থ্যই তো এক জন পুরুষেরও নাই আবার চার বিয়ে।
কিন্তু আমার লাষ্ট কথা হলো কোনো যুক্তি তর্ক দিয়ে ইসলামের আদেশকে অস্বীকার করা যাবেনা তা নিয়ে প্রশ্ন তোলা যাবে না।

Translation: #The_real_truth_is_that maintaining the standard of justice set by Allah is so difficult that in Bangladesh, it is nearly impossible for a man to uphold full justice, responsibility, and dignity even towards one wife, let alone four.

And just as the Sunnah of four marriages has been emphasized, my above statement should be established with equal importance.

Islam has given a wife such an honorable and dignified status — yet most men are not capable of honoring a wife with that same standard, and still they talk about four marriages.

However, my final point is this:
No command of Islam can be denied, rejected, or questioned based on personal logic or arguments.

 “নিজেই তৈরি করুন নিজের অনলাইন স্টোর — কোনো কোডিং জ্ঞান ছাড়াই!  

Dr. Mahmuda Mitu’s statement focuses on balancing religious permission with moral responsibility, urging Muslims to acknowledge the core principle of justice in Islamic marital law.

She emphasizes that faith is demonstrated not only by accepting divine rulings, but by practicing them with fairness and integrity. Her message reinforces that the intention of Islamic law is not privilege, but accountability.
