Dhivehi
Observer's recent diversion to Islamic ideology is solemnly
respectable
Dhivehi Observer has published an article
headlined
"Gayyoom
abuses Islam to sustain dictatorship in
Maldives"
in which the author has stressed on the importance of
upholding the Islamic Law. Concluding the subject matter, the
author of the referred article says
"If
man starts thinking that Islam has some or other similar
weaknesses as the family law in the Maldives brings out, man
would soon lose confidence that Islam is correct and
comprehensive. The Islamic world has got to review this and
other similar situations affecting the fundamental claim that
Islam is a universal religion."
DP welcomes Dhivehi Observer's surprising
diversion to publish articles observing the current issues of
the
Maldives through the Islamic perspective. Even though we
condemn DO's varied publications of criminal and indecent
nature, we encourage publications that present a Muslim's
belief than a villain who speaks the evil's desire.
Adding to the divorce issue highlighted by
DO, DP's Legal Advisers said "It is obviously true that the
Constitutions of many Muslim nations such as the
Maldives, Yemen and Pakistan claim that the state religion is Islam but
they do not conform to it. This breaching is not circumscribed
only in Family law but in social, civil, criminal and
international matters. Thereby, the Article
"Islam is the
State religions"
in those countries be left only in its
natural form of the black and white."
He further
added that the system of divorce in Islam is the most
ideal system of divorce ordained by any religion or law.
System of divorce in Islam does not require any additions by
mankind. If a married couple fails to reconcile their
differences with each other, Islam ordains that the matter of
their discord shall be discussed at a family meeting in which
the family mediators should do their best to reconcile the
matter of discord. Islam does not ordain this matter to be
brought to the public domain by exposing the privacy of their
personal life; rather Islam guarantees the protection of their
dignity and private life. And of course, the divorce has to
be testified at the court and legalized, but this is not the
case in Maldives System of Divorce I suppose.
