Ayesha’s dream is to see Qazis teaching marriage in various wedding ceremonies since her childhood; one day I will do the same. When she grew up, she saw that it wasn’t written anywhere that girls couldn’t be marriage registrars.
Ayesha is now 39 years old. In order to fulfill his dream, he applied for a marriage registrar license for districts 7, 8 and 9 of the municipality of Fulbaria. Previously, Fazil passed away from Darul Sunnah Senior Siddiquia Madrasa in Phulbari. The husband is a homeopath. Joined homeopathic treatment with husband.
After applying for the marriage registrar’s license, the local advisory committee for the approval of the license submitted the names of three people to the Ministry of Law in 2014. Among them was the name of Ayesha Siddiqui. But the Ministry of Justice refused to grant Ayesha Siddique a registrar license, saying she was a woman. Later, the women’s movement vigorously protested. The struggle to become a marriage registrar began.
Ayesha said that for this the legal battle at the highest level of Bangladesh will continue. When he went to the High Court challenging the decision of the Ministry of Justice, a High Court court rejected his request on February 28 of last year. When the full verdict was released recently, the matter was discussed again. Ayesha said that nowhere in the rules issued by the Justice Ministry does it say that only men can be marriage registrars. It has all the qualifications mentioned there. Furthermore, the constitution of Bangladesh has granted equal rights to men and women. The marriage registrar is not a government office. There is a kazi or registrar for an area that does the work for a fixed fee with a government license. To be a marriage registrar, one must have at least the Alim pass of a madrasa registered with a university or madrasa board. You must be between 21 and 40 years old. You have to be a resident of the area where you want to be the qazi or nikah registrar.
Why can’t Ayesha Siddique be Kazi after having these qualifications? In rejecting Ayesha’s application for a license in 2014, the law ministry said: “Given the realities of Bangladesh, it is not possible for women to act as marriage registrars.” Ayesha filed a judicial petition in the High Court challenging the decision of the Ministry of Justice. But when that rule was rejected last year, the ministry’s decision still stands.
A full ruling from the High Court of Judges Jubayer Rahman Chowdhury and Judge Kazi Zinat Haque noted that it was the job of a marriage registrar to initially teach marriage between two Muslim couples, which is basically a religious ceremony. Due to the lack of open spaces in urban areas, wedding ceremonies are held in mosques. But in this case, it must be taken into account that it is not possible for a woman to go to the mosque at any time of the month due to any physical condition. At that time, a woman also abstained from the mandatory daily prayers.
In this context, Ayesha has demanded that the participation of women in the state work of marriage registration be legalized, repealing the ruling of the High Court that ‘marriage cannot be registered’.
