Requests to men,
Stop mansplaining the #MMDA Stop thinking tis part of the religion.
Do us all a favour, go read Quran and Hadith from the beginning to the end and see if MMDA makes any sense.
Dowry is prohibited in Islam, yet MMDA has it as kaikuli/dowry.

Islam says husband needs the permission of the wife to conduct a polygamous marriage (subject to conditions) but under the MMDA, no such thing. Men marry other women without their wife's knowledge.

Today Iāve been invited to attend two webinars from Sri Lanka on the proposed #MMDA reforms which are being seen as a challenge to religious freedoms. there are strong emotions on both sides of this argument but there has to be representation of both sides of the argument (1)
The two #mmda webinars are all male panels which I find bizarre, because if the discussions are around reforms to marriage laws and involves women, why are there no women on the panels?Itās unacceptable to not have people who are directly affected by the reforms on the panel (2)
This is basic community engagement. And for Godās sake this is the 21st century. To not have women on a panel discussion on the #mmda reforms even if they share the opposite views really shows where peopleās thoughts on the reforms actually lie (3)
