Mangalore, Aug 26: As there was no permission obtained from the Jamath and his earlier wife had an objection, the second wedding of Abdul Samad which was supposed to be held on Sunday August 25 at JMJ hall in Bajpe was stopped.

Abdul Samad (28) from Mooduferrar was married to Fathima Suva in 2010 and the couple has a 2-year-old baby boy. But recently due to some conflict, he had given 'Talaq' (divorce) to his wife and case over the custody of the child is in court.

Amidst all these problems, Abdul Samad had decided to marry a girl from Mangalore on August 25.

Objection from first wife

All the necessary arrangements were done for the wedding and on Sunday August 25, Abdul Samad arrived at the wedding hall along with his family. When there were just a few minutes left for the Nikah, his first wife visited the wedding hall along with their son and expressed objection.

She along with her family members said that Abdul Samad had not obtained permission from Mukka Jamath regarding their Talaq.

Permission letter from Jamath is important. As per the tradition, when the first wife is alive and a man wants to re- marry, he has to inform his Jamath and his ex-wife's Jamath about the Talaq given, and obtain a permission from them. Here, Abdul did not obtain permission from Fathima’s Jamath.

Due to heated discussions between the three families with no positive conclusion, Abdul’s second wedding came to a halt.

Bajpe police and women’s police arrived at the spot and maintained law. Officials of Prajna counseling center also arrived at the spot, who spoke about the responsibility of taking care of the child. As the case over custody of the child is pending before court, Abdul Samad will not be able to return abroad for work.
