I didn't marry to satisfy my passion, but for humanitarian motives” Hoxha declares after charges of second marriage

He's addressed the public with a letter explaining his truth.

He says he has neither been married for the sake of anyone, nor to satisfy any passion and lust by going to marry for humanitarian reasons.

“Marriage is entirely for religious and humanitarian motives, to accommodate a girl who had not enjoyed the best care for her health and education in her family”, he writes.

My goods have reminded me that my religion and my morale have not fallen, I have not moved any of the principles of religion. Even this knowledge: I have not been married to anger or to satisfy my passion. If the second marriage was lustful and passionate, I would do it earlier with some famous, distinguished woman for human greed. Even at age I'd marry someone who just turned 18.”, says Hodge Avdiu.

Below the full letter written by Hodge Vesjem Avdiu-Bujanoc:

My Truth

Dear believers, family members and friends of mine,

Those of you who have seen my name bend these days and are worried about an event being reported in the media, I want to briefly inform you that the way it is reported in the media tends to damage my image, and more of the image of Islam, which some tend to present in a bad light.

My fans reminded him that my religion and my morality have not fallen, that I have not moved in any of the principles of religion. Even this knowledge: I have not been married to anger or to satisfy my passion. If the second marriage was lustful and passionate, I would do it earlier with some famous, distinguished woman for human greed. Even at age I would marry someone who just turned 18.

Dear friends know that my marriage is entirely for religious and humanitarian reasons to accommodate a girl who had no longer enjoyed the best of her health care and education in her family. Therefore, do not regard my religion in this matter, for I have not gone astray. I pray that you also pray for my determination and stability in religion, until death.

From my duty as an imam, then as a religious teacher when I was, I had young students and I was younger and less experienced myself, but I've never had any access or direction to my finger. I've treated patients and patients with different ages, characters, characteristics, traits, social standings, communities and so on. In a variety of ways, but there has never been a scandal with any patient, thousands of people who have visited me. Never have there been complaints against me, nor family members nor those who have come for treatment, absolutely by no one!

I have spoken the word of Islam, and of what I speak, the word of my own self, first and last, after. I'm not a random profession of religion, but because of the love cultivated for Islam by my fathers, I'm a hodge and a teacher and a preacher of religion. This is my faith and character, unchanged so far. I have made marriage conforming to the rules of religion by accepting the approval of the daughter's father, who has agreed to give me his daughter's hand, but after a few weeks he has regretted having a marriage.

In reactions to the group that is working against me these days, it is clear that there are other trends, likely pushed from outside the village and for anti-religious and antinational interests. Clearly, their request is to get me out of the mosque, not to stop the girl. Imagine that people as intellectuals at this time muster up the courage to interfere with the decisions of a 24 - year - old girl, thus violating religious, legal, family, and canonical commitment. Who has given them the right, when they are not the relatives of the daughter?

My marriage, my private life and things that are not public to me, and I keep them for myself. I will not allow others to rise up on my back unjustly. I will defend my right with any legal means I can possess and the perpetrators will be exposed.

The trouble to make noise comes only when the hosts or believers are at stake, with their intention to tarnish us and religion accordingly. I know I'm clean before God, and all of this has happened with the approval of my religion, my daughter's family and my family.

So please calm down and leave us alone!

With respect,

Vicen Avdiu
