Muslim Man Marries His Teenage Daughter
ON the BBC: “A Muslim who married his 15-year-old daughter and made her pregnant had to be rescued from angry villagers in the Indian state of West Bengal, police say.”
Afazuddin Ali, 36, has five children - three of them daughters.
A few months ago Ali married his eldest daughter, telling his wife Sakina that Allah had ordained him to do so.
Not convinced by his story, his angry neighbours in Kasiajhiora village nearly lynched him for what they said was a clear case of incest.
Marriage within the nuclear family is forbidden in Islam.
“He is a deeply religious man and will never lie in the name of Allah,” Sakina told a court in the northern district of Jalpaiguri.
“I agreed to his marriage with our eldest daughter when he invoked divine sanction,” she said.
But this story has failed to impress the other villagers.
“We didn’t know she was married so when we confronted his wife, she told us about the bizarre marriage six months ago,” Sheikh Ramzan, a village leader at Kasiajhiora, said.
“We wanted to smash his head, we were so angry.”

Well, Muhammed did make his adopted son divorce his wife so he could marry her, saying ‘Allah’ told him to. (Thereby outlawing adoption as well.) It’s not as sick as ‘marrying’ your own daughter but it’s not pretty either. It’s no wonder Muslims make leaps in what ‘Allah tells them to do’.

I’m a muslim and was left with utter disblief when i read this article…Let me just clarify that this is not acceptable in islam at all. Ask the majority of muslims all over the world and all will disagree.
Allah clearly implies in the quraan that you CANNOT MARRY your mother, father, paternal grandfather, paternal grandmother, maternal grandfather, maternal grandmother, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, fathers brothers and sisters and mothers brothers and sisters.
Please do not generalise and assume that all muslims would do this. This incident is probably one out of millions.
Also, replying to above statement 1 so called muslim man made a leap (which is wrong) and he will be punished by Allah….think about the hundreds of people in the west that sleep with daughters and sons, rape and abuse…why is this never mentioned in the news. Its almost become acceptable in society in the ‘west’ as its clearly shown in dramas and movies. Its almost like advertising it! ISLAM DOESNT DO THAT.

i do not totally agree to the above comment regarding Muhammed ( s.a.w) making his adopted son divorce…… this is a sign of ignorance! if one really looks at the history, nabi ( s.a.w) actually discouraged hazrath Zaid (his adopted son) from divorcing his wife… but then too hazrat zaid still divorced her. thereafter nabi was instructed by allah to marry hazrath zaids ex wife, so that the law is established in islam for the ummat to follow that it is permissible to marry your adopted son’s ex wife. now/ today if some one does this then it will be permissible. but to draw it as an example of marrying your own daughter then this will never be accepted in islam or even morally.
Was salaam

This is just pure sickness. The man is in desperate need of some help! Sick f***!!! I CAN NOT believe this. Forget being a disgrace to the Muslim community. This man is not even a HUMAN!
It’s anti-social behaviour. This is worse than apostasy, therefore the man should be hanged!

Either this person is sick and needs to be treated. And if he is in his right frame of mind, and claims that Allah Ta’aala has commanded him to do this then he has left the fold of Islam and there is no place in Islam for such beliefs.
JazakAllah
