Kashmiri fatwa allows remarriage of women with missing husbands
The Times of India:
Various Kashmiri Muslim scholars on Thursday issued a fatwa permitting women whose husbands have been missing for the past four years to remarry.
The religious scholars were in Srinagar for a conference on the issue of the remarriage of Kashmiri women whose husbands have gone missing over the past two decades since the outbreak of militancy in the state.
Bashir Ahmad Dar, head of Ehsaas, the NGO that organized the conference, said the religious scholars unanimously concluded that the ‘half-widows’ whose husbands have disappeared in custody or otherwise over the past 20 years can remarry four years after the disappearance.
