MUHAMMADAN MARRIAGE
QUSTOMS.
The Pahang correspondent to the Malay Mail writes:With the increasing influence of European civilization and customs in Malay one would have expected to find the position of woman materially improved from that allo- gated to her by the Muhammadan religion and Malay custom, but it is surprising how liftle has been effected in this direction. A strange exception to this generat rule was, however, brought to light in one of the down river dis tricts of Pahang (of all places !) last month. A sum of $1,000 was recovered by a Malay lady from her husband on account of a contract in nature of a marriage settlement which he sashty entered into before their marriage. The defendant, a substantial cultivator, being un-
the
able to obtain the hand of his lady love by. other means, hatl, sonte ten years ago when he sought her in marriage, made a contract by which he undertook to forfeit to her à gum of $1,000 in case he married a second wife der jag the life of the first, or in case be should divorce wite No. 1. He likewise agreed that, should be take a second wife to his bosom, he would farfeit to the first wife a further sum of $60, with which she could purchase a divorce on her own account. A duplicate of the con- tract had been registered in the Court in ac cordance with an old (but now exploded). "custom of the Government The case was per fectly clear against the husband. He admitted having made the contract, but pleaded that it was illegal under Muhammadan Law.. A pre cedent, however, in the Indian Courts quite upset his defence, and the unfortunate fellow was practically ruined, being obliged to ratify the contract made with his angry spouse, understand that $60 was wiped off by granting
à thvorce to the lady, and that the remaining thousand, was raiseif by the enforced sale of a amall herd of buffaloes and the mortgage of
by his little homestead and rice fields. Well, he deserved all lie got The womun, by his own sewing, had been a good wife to him, and bad borne him five children. His.only reasons for marrying again were that wife No. I was no longer so young as she had been, that he desired to raise up more children, that he had the wherewithal to support a plurality of wives, and that his religion allowed polygamy.
It would be well for all Malay, women if they, or their guardians, would safeguard their iotarests in the manner indicated. The chief point in which the faith of Islam seems to me to suffer by comparison wil Christinity is in the treatment of women. When a wife is past her first bloom there is nothing in prevent her husband from casting her off entirely or from marrying, a second woman.. And it is very often done. Indeed, with very few exceptions, a Malay husband will always, if he can afford it, marry a second wife when the first ceases to bear, children, low much the first wife feels the action of her husband in bringing in a enwife is proved by the fact that the older wife nearly invariably obtains a divorce wheth her means allow of it. There aguia the shoe pisches. It seems a monstratis, injustice that, while with a word a man can divorce the woman who has loved him devotedly for years, * wife cannot obtain a release from her husband except by paying over to him sixty silver dollars, and in this connection all Kathis ought to be obliged to exeicise the greatest care in registering marriages and divorces.
In the great majority of instanços; the mas kawin is owed to the bride-not paid ver in hard cash and the record of this ought to be so carefully kept that there should be no doubt whatever on
the subject of woman wishes to obtain
divorce.
