Traditional Shari'a law does not meet the contemporary needs of Muslim women today in Bangladesh, certainly not in matters of marriage, divorce and post-divorce. In many respects, Shari'a law , is not consistent with the Quranic injunctions. It is the product of misogynistic and patriarchal interpretation by all-male jurists during the first three centuries of Islam who ignored fundamental message of Islam on gender equality. Women in Bangladesh are victims of child marriage, polygamy, fatwas , and unilateral divorce, without any right to matrimonial home or post-divorce maintenance. A wife's contribution to the family and her needs are utterly disregarded. Despite the Constitutional provision of gender equality, Muslim or Hindu Women's rights in the family are still governed by their discriminatory personal laws. A Hindu woman still has no right to divorce, even if the husband is cruel, or a polygamist. Reforms in personal laws were brought at different periods, starting from the British until present. The entire Sharia law in public matters was replaced with secular laws by the British rulers. This was done without any objection from the traditionalists, since those laws did not go against patriarchal interest. Reforms of marital rights of Muslim and Hindu women, though, were brought only after continuous movement by women, strong support from male reformers, and political will. Many Muslim states have reformed discriminatory Shari'a law by either restricting or abolishing polygamy and unilateral divorce. Some even provided post-divorce maintenance to the divorced wife. India also brought reforms in Hindu marriage and divorce laws, giving equal rights to men and women, and post-divorce maintenance. In Bangladesh, statutory reforms or judicial interpretations are unenforceable when they conflict with personal laws. The Government is reluctant to implement those, or ratify CEDAW in full, for fear of opposition from the traditionalists. Feminists demand secular reforms and the modernists demand reforms in Sharia . For any reform, a strong political will and substantive support of the people are needed. Reforms alone, however cannot remove deep rooted patriarchal bias. Universal education, particularly women's education, awareness and self reliance are essential to bring meaningful change in women's life.
