On Thrusday, CM Himanta Biswa Sharma in a meeting lashing out at All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) Chief Badruddin Ajmal said that there is a need to change the system of men marrying three-four women to give justice to Muslim women.
Sarma said, “There cannot be any right to a man living in independent India to marry three-four women (without giving divorce to the previous spouse) and we will have to change such a system. We will have to try to give justice to Muslim women. If Muslim girls were asked to wear the Hijab, why not the boys also use the same thing? Muslim girls can`t study in school and Muslim men will marry 2-3 women, we are against this system. We want `Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas`.”
Sarma also said that there are some leaders in Assam like Badruddin Ajmal who said women must give birth to children as soon as possible, adding “A woman`s childbirth process cannot be compared with a field. I have repeatedly said that our women can give birth to 20-25 children, but Ajmal will have to bear their food, clothes, education, and all other expenses and then, we don`t have any problem.”
