There may be a punishment of 10 years

Polygamy has been defined in the bill as if a person marries a second time without legally ending his first marriage, it will be considered an offense and will be punishable with imprisonment of up to 7 years and fine.

Many years ago, India was ruled by the great emperor Akbar. His court was considered the center of knowledge and thoughts. Akbar wanted people not to tie the old rules only, but should adopt new thinking and education. Scholar Mulla Abdul Qadir Badauni was also in his court. He wrote in his book Tawarikh that Akbar left some Islamic rules and accepted some things of the heretics. Mulla Badauni made many serious allegations against Akbar, some of which cannot be mentioned publicly.

Akbar made this plan in 1582

In 1582, Akbar planned to run a new religion. He held meetings with the intelligent people of his court. In a meeting, King Bhagwandas Kachhwaha asked him that if Hindu and Muslim religion are bad, then what will be his new religion. Akbar thought and stopped persuading the king to the new religion, but continued to work on his thoughts.

Meanwhile, some opponents were sent to southern states. He explained to the rulers there that Akbar has punished them, so that they get shelter in their states with respect. Akbar appointed Qazi Abdul Samee in Delhi and implemented new rules.

Darbari started changing names to please Haram’s women

Mulla Badauni wrote that some courtiers started changing their names to please the women of Haram. He changed the name to names like Mohammad, Yaar Mohammad. Seeing these steps, Akbar tried to change education and thinking in the society.

Akbar called Syed Mir Fateh Ulla and tasked him to teach the children of the rich. Children were taught new ways of calculations, letters and knowledge. Syed Mir Fateh Ulla gave modern education to the children and introduced them to new thinking.

Mulla Badauni protested

Mulla Badauni protested, but it was clear that Akbar’s purpose was to expand knowledge and education in the society. Their efforts gave the children a new thinking and created a new atmosphere of ideas in the court.
