- Thanks Nadeem. This is one of the most encouraging and Sincere answeres I
- got. The case in India was, there was a Old woman (around 65 years)
- and she was divorced at that age, by her husband. She went to court.
- The Supreme court said that fellow has to pay her some allowance to meet
- her Requirements. Muslim politicians supported by some Imams (donot know
- whether Shias or Sunnis) opposed it. Many educated people and even a
- CENTRAL CABINET MINISTER opposed these Fundamentalists. But, the ruling
- party with its eyes on Votes changed constituition to the fancies of
- these Fundamentalists.
-
- What are the rules in Islamic countries on this issue? Second,
- your suggestion of a radical Reform is not comprhendable. Can you please
- explain it. If you think that Muslim Ulema is ignorant WILL THEY ACCEPT
- REFORMS? Take the examples of Bhais and Ahmediyas. And who is the person or
- WHICH is the process which has started the prevalence of Ignorance among
- Muslim Ulema?
-
- Finally what is the position of Handicapped people in the issue of Talaq?
- By the way, so do you agree that a Muslim, can call his wife once in TWO
- months and TALAQ her successfully after four months? Because I foresee
- some "Technical" problems like establishing the identity of person. And many
- of its variations.
-
- I appreciate your response.
