جزر المالديف: رد قانون العلاقة الزوجية لتعارضه مع الشريعة الإسلامية

- خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

رد "عبدالله يمين" - رئيس "جزر المالديف" - مسودة قانون العلاقة الخاصة بين الزوجين، وذلك لتضمنه شروطًا مناقضة للشريعة الإسلامية؛ حيث يسعى القانون الذي تقدم به "محمد نشيد" - ممثل الحزب التقدمي - إلى منع الزواج الثاني إلا بموافقة الزوجة، وكذلك منع العلاقة الخاصة في حالة التقدم بطلب الطلاق أو الانفصال أو الفسخ.

وقد أشار المتخصصون في علوم الشريعة إلى أن القانون الذي حصل على موافقة برلمانية بلغت 67 مقابل 2 يخالف الشريعة التي تحرِّم على الزوجة الامتناع عن زوجها متى طلبها تحت أي ظرف إلا حالات المنع من الوطء المعروفة فقهيًّا، بناءً على ذلك رد الرئيس القانون لتتم مراجعته وتعديله بما لا يخالف الشريعة؛ المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

Maldives President Vetoes Marital Rape Bill

Maldives President Abdulla Yameen has vetoed the sexual offences bill limiting husband’s right to have non-consensual sex with his wife as contradicting with Islamic Shari`ah, returning it to the parliament for reconsideration.

“The bill containing some provisions that are contrary to Islamic Shari`ah and Islamic principles was among the reasons considered for returning the bill,” the President’s Office stated in a letter to the speaker of the parliament cited by Minivan News.

Under article 91 of the constitution, within 15 days of receipt the president could either assent to a bill or “return the bill for reconsideration of the bill or of any amendment proposed by the president.”

Last month, the bill was passed by 67-2 vote in the parliament to limit a husband’s right to have non-consensual sex with his wife.

It says that a husband cannot force his wife to have sex if the couple have filed for divorce, dissolution or mutual separation, and if the intent is to transmit a sexual disease.

It was drafted and submitted in October 2012 by now-Progressive Party of Maldives MP for Kulhudhufushi South, Mohamed ‘Kutti’ Nasheed. Nasheed wrote in the draft legislation that it was not intended to replace Shari`ah.

The proposed law also covers sexual offences ranging from adultery, homosexuality, incest, bestiality and necrophilia.

Receiving approval in the parliament, the bill stirred condemnations from Dr Mohamed Iyaz Abdul Latheef, Vice President of the Fiqh Academy, as contradicting with Islamic shari`ah.

“With the exception of forbidden forms of sexual intercourse, such as during menstrual periods and anal intercourse, it is not permissible under any circumstance for a woman to refrain from it when the husband is in need,” Dr Iyaz had said on a local Islamic question and answers website.

Abdul Latheef added that a woman must show “complete obedience to her husband” even if she has filed for divorce.

The Maldives is a cluster of 1,200 islands renowned for its luxury resorts.

The Maldivian ethnic identity is a blend of the cultures reflecting the peoples who settled on the islands, probably from southern India and Sri Lanka.

According to CIA factbook, a 2011 July census put the number of its people at 394,999.

Islam is the official religion of the country with almost 100 percent of its residents practicing Muslims.
