Status and Necessity of Second Marriage in Islam

The Arabic word "عائلہ" ʿĀʾilah is customary to refer to wife and home. In Urdu language, the appropriate substitutes for this word are clan and family whereas a "family" usually comprises husband, wife and kids. Family life is also known as domestic life which is not merely a pillar of a society but also is its foundation. A home is the basic unit of domestic life and society. Contentment, peace and stability of a home depend on good and pleasant relations between husband and wife. In case the understanding between husband and wife are deficient, their relations suffer largely and become weak. Islam assigns increased significance to a firm family system in the human society. It is the family environment which is the beginning of human life. A family is the basic natural institution of human society which sustains since the time of Adam (A.S.), and as long as human societies exist, the status of family will also survive and prevail. Each human child coming into this world takes birth in a family where it is brought up to flourishes in family environment. The present-day secular environment, secular education and a society lacking the teachings of Allāh and Messenger Muḥammad (S.A.W.) has deviated the Muslims from their real objective of life and the thought about the life hereafter. Today’s Muslim carries the tendency of leading his life according to his own free will and desires instead of leading his life according to the teachings of the holy Qurʾān and the tradition of the Messenger Muḥammad (S.A.W.). He feel highly uncomfortable to pass his life as per instructions contained in the holy Qurʾān and the tradition of Muḥammad (S.A.W.). Various institutions and so-called NGOs in the name of women’s rights and enlightenment are causing increased complexities for women. Today, woman is getting far and farther from her home and households. On the plea of enlightenment and freedom she is getting away from the religious teachings, her husband and also from her children. The state under influence of these organizations has, without appropriate consideration and detailed thought, framed laws against a second marriage. This legislation has affected the society and opened way for more perversion, distance from the faith and several other social complexities which instead of finding some solution are becoming more and more intricate.

More than 20 species of Helicobacter has been recognized. It causes a chronic low-level inflammation of the stomach lining and is strongly linked to the development of duodenal and gastric ulcers and stomach cancer. More than 50% of the world''s population harbor Helicobacter pylori in their upper gastrointestinal tract. Infection is more prevalent in developing countries, and incidence is decreasing in developed countries. Emerging antibiotic resistance has consequences a major problem for the efficacy of treatment. Hence, research in Helicobacter pylori epidemiology and its associated diseases is therefore important for the development of novel treatment strategies and prevention Materials and methods A study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of Pylorex plus, a herbal formulation for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection as compared to Quadruple allopathic therapy (Omeprazol, Amoxicillin, Metronidazol and Bismuth compounds). The therapeutic evaluations of these medicines were conducted on 176 clinically and immunologically diagnosed cases of Helicobacter pylori infection. All the patients selected for the study were thoroughly examined and clinical history was recorded in the prescribed proforma of case sheet enclosed herewith the thesis. The therapeutic evaluation of the drug was made on the basic improvement in the subjective signs and symptoms, clinical observations and pathological investigations at periodic intervals during the course of treatment. This data was collected in the period April 2010-March 2012 and completed the clinical trials.
