[1] From: yogi sikand <ysikand@yahoo.com> Date: Wed Jun 29, 2005 Subject: Deoband's Fatwa on Imrana Rape Challenged by Women and Shia 'Ulama It??™s Shia law board vs Darul Uloom on rape PTI Posted online: Wednesday, June 29, 2005 at 1024 hours IST Lucknow, June 28: Striking a discordant note on Darul Uloom's edict in Imrana rape case, the all India Shia Personal Law Board today said if a man rapes his daughter-in -law, the victim cannot become the mother of the husband. "If a man rapes his daughter-in-law, the victim cannot become the mother of her husband as she is not the wife of the perpetrator of the crime," an AISPLB spokesman said. He said Imrana should be allowed to live with her husband and harsh punishment should be handed over to the rapist. The Quran provided for punishment by stoning to death for those raping a married woman, the AISPLB said. The all India Women Muslim Personal Law Board (AIWMPLB)also denounced the Deoband edict and said it could not be justified in the light of the Shariat. In a statement here, chairperson of the board said the tenets of Islam have been "misinterpreted" by Darul Uloom and AIMPLB and injustice has been done to the victim. Darul Uloom and AIMPLB's decision will have wide ramifications and might be misused by individuals trying to end their marriage. Amber also alleged that both Imrana and her husband have been threatened by some maulanas to maintain silence or else face consequences. Calling the verdict against Imrana as "very harsh", the Uttar Pradesh Women's Commission wrote to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav asking for his intervention to ensure that the victim is allowed to live with her husband. Meanwhile, the All India Muslim Personal Law Board had yesterday supported the edict issued by Darul Uloom that Imrana could not be allowed to live with her husband any longer as the conjugal relationship with her husband stood dissolved since she had been raped by the latter's blood relative. Imrana was allegedly raped by her father-in-law in Charthawal town of Muzaffarnagar district on June 4 after which the accused Ali Mohammad was arrested. --------- [2] From: India Centre <huright@vsnl.com> Date: Thu Jun 23, 2005 0:38pm Subject: database huright@vsnl.com Dear All, Can u please send us your following details as we are updating our database.

This doesn??™t mean we are all fated to be buried in an avalanche of overflowing landfill junk. The ???garbage??? referred to in this theory is molecular trash that, over a lifetime, gradually clogs up our cells. The nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans, often used as a research model, turned out to provide evidence that a form of molecular garbage is associated with the aging process, researchers say.

The board was of the view that she would have to separate for life from her husband, who would be responsible for bringing up their five children. "The fact that Imrana was raped by her father-in-law completely bars her reunion with her husband. There is no way she can be allowed to again live with her husband," ruled AIMPLB's sole women member Naseem Ikhtidar. According to Ikhtidar: "The Deoband school has rightly said that the husband-wife relationship between Imrana and her husband automatically ceased no sooner than she was raped by her father-in-law. Under the Shariat, she becomes the mother of her husband." Maulana Khalid Rasheed, Imam of Lucknow-based Firangi Mahal, a renowned Islamic institution dealing with personal law matters, endorsed Ikhtidar's views. "The decision of the Deoband maulanas was strictly in accordance with the tenets of Islam so there was little that anyone can do about it," Rasheed maintained. However, they were at loss to explain why the guilty father-in-law Mohammad Ali was not being dealt with in accordance with the Shariat, which clearly lays down that a rapist should be stoned to death. "Mohammad Ali had already been arrested by the police under various provisions of the Indian Penal Code so how can we interfere?" asked Ikhtidar. "Since he is to be tried under the criminal law of the land, we do not come into the picture," said Rasheed. Taking serious note of the issue, the All India Democratic Women's Association (AIDWA) as well as the newly-formed All India Muslim Women's Law Board have flayed both the Deoband seminary and the AIMPLB. AIDWA president Subhashini Ali, the firebrand former Communist Party if India-Marxist MP, is all set to lead a demonstration to Imrana's home in Muzaffarnagar in Uttar Pradesh on June 30 to protest the ruling of the clerics. "The decision of the maulanas was highly questionable. Such an attitude is bound to dissuade women from raising their voice against such exploitation and violence in future because they would be scared of being ostracized," said Ali. "By the same logic, if a child is raped by her grandfather, would be declared a grandmother?" she asked. Said Muslim women's board chief Shaista Ambar: "The ruling speaks volumes of the discrimination of the maulanas. It further establishes what we have been contending - that the male-dominated AIMPLB was not the appropriate forum to decide matters dealing with personal law issues and that is why we had to set up an independent body for Muslim women."
