The Adhaalath Party has issued a statement calling on the state to implement Islamic Sharia and execute mothers who abort their children.
The Adhaalath Party is in coalition with the ruling Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP), and is led by its newly-elected President Sheikh Imran Abdulla.
‘’The penalty for taking the life of another without any purpose is death [according to Islamic Sharia],’’ said the party in its statement.
The party claimed abortion was an issue that should concern all Maldivians, who should be “very afraid” given the “rising popularity of fornication.”
