Petition against the Muslim Marriages Bill

Kindly find below a petition against the legislation of the Muslim Marriages Bill. The Jamiatul Ulama KZN after much research, deliberation and consultation on the Bill has arrived at the conclusion, that this Bill will alter the Quranic Law governing Muslim Marriages. It will promote a Law using the name of Islam that will issue verdicts giving precedence to the South African Constitution, a constitution in which homosexual marriages and adopting children into such marriages are recognised, before it conforms with Islam.

PETITION AGAINST THE MUSLIM MARRIAGES BILL
We, the undersigned members of the Muslim community, call upon the Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development, to withdraw the process of the Muslim Marriages Bill. We believe this process will create a conflict between our community and the State, as the State will be interfering in matters of our religion. It is also unconstitutional to give imprimatur sanction to one interpretation of our religious laws; such an interpretation which we believe does not correctly reflect the laws of Islam.
