Reacting to the proposal of Muhammad Sanusi, emir of Kano to outlaw forced marriages and regulate polygamy, Aminu Daurawa, Kano state commandant of Hisbah, a religious police outfit, has said the position of God on marriage has been stated in the Quran and any means of regulation would be seen as an act of “infringement”.
In an interview with the BBC Hausa service on Friday, Daurawa, who advised the monarch to focus on enlightening the people on the intricacies of polygamy, said the subject matter should be put in the curriculum of secondary school for young ones to know what is best for them..
Daurawa said;
“Allah position on marriage is sacrosanct as stated in the Holy Quran and any infringement is nullity,”
“What needs to be done is not enactment of a law that would bar the poor from marrying more than one wife but rather enlightenment on the intricacies of polygamy.
“There about 13 criteria to be followed before one qualifies to marry a second wife and this include been just and caring to the wife as been enshrined in the Holy Quran should be strictly followed.”
