What’s a Marriage Bandit?
A ‘Marriage Bandit’ is a name given to certain corrupt individuals who have sprung up within our Muslim communities. They are lawless individuals who twist and use the Deen of Islam to exploit the vulnerabilities in their victims and convince them into marriages, only to use and abuse them, and leave them soon thereafter. Some of these individuals have married and divorced women countless times, passing them around to each other and treating them like disposable trash. They have separated countless communities, fostered many broken families with women and children, and often created a cult culture to continue and propagate this cycle and do these actions again – and again – and again.
This abuse and manipulation of women has to stop, and the first step is awareness. Together as a community we have to take a step forward, look into these issues and bring them to light by exposing these criminals and their cults for what they are, creating a drive for change, preventing women from falling into these same traps, and developing an atmosphere where women who have been afflicted by these criminals know that they are not alone and can find a way out of these terrible situations.
Through the stories publicized on the site you will notice that these predators do not deserve our sympathy, nor our protection, and by ignoring the issue and not taking action or remaining silent on it, we are only helping them satisfy their own corrupted desires and agendas.
Knowledge is true empowerment, and we hope to use this blog as a base to give insight as to what really goes on, and bring truth to many lies and traps laid by these predators bi’ithnillaah.
As’salama Alaykum,
Alhumdulilaah & Jazak Allah Khair. FINALLY this is being highlighted & action soon will be in progress.
Allah succeed all of you & may these bandits even “well known” da’ees who have or do do this be exposed and kicked out of dawah for good by Allah.
Just curious and avoiding the following the cries of every one who would say they have been wrong, and or just people who carry tales and seek attention; how does one verify these stories, if there an open forum for some kind of reply, also isn’t there a way to deal with this matter and these “bandits” by way of the sunnah. I have looked and researched the history of Islaam and I haven’t seen a precedence to establish making blogs to call attention to these behaviors in this manner. I think to be fair names, dates, and establish proofs should be used and not perceptional truths. May Allah reward you for what good you have done, and pardon you for any evil that has come from this and guide you to what is up right and correct ameen.
Abu Jameel, you obviously have no idea of the reality of the situation but YES this rubbish is going on and what more proof do you want than destroyed souls, and abandoned women with children. What more proof do you need then the tears and cries of our beloved sisters in distress after the ‘marriage bandits’ have had their way with them. It’s serious and crippling on a Muslim, what is going on. And yes there is a way to deal with these matters with the sunnah but try and name one decent person able to impose the sunnah on a deviant brother in a country where no shariah law rules. I personally was oppressed by a man of a reputable Muslim family and no Sheikh in SYDNEY wanted to touch the matter and chose to shove it under the rug. When I threatened to take the matter to the media, then they started listening yet made it clear that they are powerless to bring that man to account and their hands are tied, they are busy helping people from overseas and can’t do anything, not even speak to the brother. whilst you ponder over this causing suspicion of your oppressed sisters, know that filthy men are getting their hands on YOUR sisters in Islam and getting their way with them before dumping them on the street.
I just stumbled on this blog as I was thinking of doing my own to bring awareness about this matter. I think these sites are coming about because no one is helping at the time of crisis.
Thanks Abu Jameel, good to know you won’t be one to lend a hand to a a person in a bad situation.
Anyone who has come into contact with such Muslims who hail from the West knows without a doubt that marriage and divorce is like buying and selling with these people. The authenticity of such claims has been established beyond doubt. If you are still in doubt, then I suggest you buy a one-way ticket to Disneyland. Such behaviour stems from the remnants of kufr that such folk bring over when they came into Islam.
It not reverts fault, if that is what you are suggesting. Everyone is accountable for their own actions and it so happens that Muslim born and raised are deciding to act without values or fear of Allah and perpetrate. They are criminal and actions are corrupt and preIslamic
