WHY DISSOLUTION OF MUSLIM MARRIAGES AND A CODED LAW FOR THE SAME FOUND ITS PLACE IN INDIA.
To
bring about a positive change in society, the conventional laws must change
according to the needs and requirements of the society. Probably lack of this
important element in muslim law is one reason why even today a muslim husband,
except if he is a minor or of unsound mind, can unilaterally divorce his wife
at any time without any reason or just cause or even her consent or knowledge. This
caused a lot of violation of rights of muslim wives as they then began to be
treated as objects of possession disposed off whenever so desired. This whole
situation was an offspring of the Hanafi Code of Muslim Law which is prevalent
in India. The code nowhere provides for the right of a muslim wife to dissolve
her marriage even if she was being mistreated or was deserted or neglected or
maltreatment was brought to her by any other means. The absence of a codified
law to outdo such unspeakable misery of muslim women further made matters
worse.
Muslim
marriages are basically governed by conventional norms rather than a set of
legislations While the personal laws of other communities have been codified
for better administration of justice in cases of family or matrimonial discord,
the better part of muslim law still remains uncodified. In the words of Dr.
Tahir Mahmood expressed by him in his paper at a workshop in Copenhagen in 2010
named Interpreting Women’s Access to
Divorce in Present Day Islamic Family Laws: Transnational and Cross-Cultural
Developments in the Law of Divorce in Europe and the Muslim World., “ …the
classical Shariah Law has been subjected to legislative reforms in several
muslim countries. Nothing of this sort has thus far happened in India and
whatever Legislation has been undertaken hardly goes beyond the traditional
understanding of law.” Till date, there are only two statutes relating to
muslim family laws in India- Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce)
Act, 1989 and Dissolution of Muslim Marriages Act, 1939.
The hanafi jurists had however created a
backdoor to escape a situation in case the code caused hardships. They allowed
the application of “Malliki”, “Shafi” or “Hanbali” law under such hard
circumstances. Hence acting on this principle, the Ulemas issued fatwas to the
effect that a muslim wife can obtain a decree of divorce under the
circumstances where she was treated with cruelty, was deserted, was not
maintained, r in cases where her husband was impotent or suffered from
insanity, leprosy or any other virulent venereal disease.
A
lucid exposition of this principle can be found in the book called “Heelatun
Najeza” published by Maulana Ashraf Ali Sahib who has deeply studied the
provisions of Malliki Law which may be applicable to muslims of India under
special circumstances. This has earned a nod of many Ulemas who have put their
seals of approval on the book.
Also
the marital status of married muslim woman remained a question if she renounced
Islam or converted to some other faith.
Hence,
to create uniformity and cure the miserable position of muslim women in India,
the act called Dissolution of Muslim Marriages Act, 1939 was brought into force.

A GIRL'S RANDOM THOUGHTS
Sitting on her bed, she kept on thinking...reflecting...
She had dated nearly all kinds of guys. The ones wanting commitment, the ones abhorring them as a pest, the ones still thinking about it, and then finally the ones who have no time for it. She had travelled nearly all dimensions of love and relationships (at least that what she thought).but now...she was back to square one. What she wanted was still a mystery for her. On the career front, she was at the zenith of it, she earned real well. She had a family back at her home town. A really happy and a complete family. She had equally good social life. But then, what was it that was still required? a perk at the work place? a better flat? a new wardrobe? a vacation perhaps?no.none of them. What she needed was time. For herself. Time to analyse what she actually wanted out of life now. After what all she ever wanted was achieved, she needed to set new goals and ambitions in life. To keep moving ahead. She didn’t need a relationship. She needed AIM. a new AIM.
Realizing this...she got up from her bed and sat at her table. she opened her diary...and wrote...THINGS TO DO TOMORROW.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday commuted the death penalty of fifteen convicts belonging to the gang of infamous sandalwood smuggler Veerappan, to life sentence on account of delay in deciding their mercy pleas. They had filed their mercy pleas back in 2004.
The ruling from the court which read “Inordinate and unreasonable delay attribute to torture. Whether the convict is a terrorist or an ordinary criminal, delay is a ground for commutation of death sentence," has risen new hopes for Devinder Pal Singh Bhullar. The court today accepted that prolonged imprisonment of a convict awaiting execution amounts to cruelty and violates the fundamental right to life guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution.
Article 72 (i) of the Constitution lays down the powers of the President to grant pardons, reprieves, respites or remissions of punishment or to suspend, remit or commute the sentence of any person convicted of an offence where the sentence is a sentence of death, where the sentence or punishment is by court martial or where the punishment or sentence is for an offence against any law relating to a matter to which the executive power of the Union extends. But the powers of the President to decide such matters are limited and ultimately the Home Ministry gets to have the final say. Since no time bar has been put within which such pleas ought to be decided, delay in such cases are a common sight in India.
Fortunately, the judiciary today woke up to the plight of those awaiting pardons, and pronounced today that the prisoner should be executed within 14 days of a clemency appeal being rejected.
It is popularly believed that this landmark judgment could help Bhullar in getting a pardon. His family has claimed that he has become mentally ill. His mercy was rejected long ago in May 2011 by the President. The Supreme Court Bench also rejected his mercy plea last year, after which he filed another petition for review. The judgment is also seen as a first step to undo the harm done by the blatant abuse of human rights that have become a common practice in the name of criminal justice system in India.

POLITICIZING OF A CAUSE.
Revolutions are celebrated when they are no longer dangerous.-PIERRE BOULEZ,1925,"GUARDIAN", 13TH OF JANUARY,1989
Who is Anna Hazare? we better know him as the man behind igniting the idea of "Lokpal bill"in the minds of Indians today.Though Lokpal bill has not still found its existence on the pages of Indian Administration and Governance, team Anna has definitely found a new way to agitate the peace of mind of the Centre.we had vehemently supported the Lokpal bill.what we should not support is "missing the target"a and "beating around the bush" attitude.its dangerous for the country's future.alleging that the Prime Minister of India is corrupt is only fair if it is in sync with the earlier taken cause of team Anna-killing corruption wherever it exists.surprisingly if one turns back the pages of the whole team Anna chapter, it can be very evidently noticed that none of the BJP or prominent leaders of other parties have been asked to be probed.what is even more surprising is that team Anna claims that whatever they do or say is not "politically colored"while in the same go Anna requests Hissar electorate not to vote for Congress party?. a question which now should ring bells in our minds should be-do we still support team Anna like we did before?If no,then what has lead to this radical change in our perspectives? Tragedy-a "pro bono" cause has been politicized....atlast.

| PAINT YOUR SELF WITH COLOURS YOU KNEW NOT EXISTED. |
last night while talking to a friend of mine,i realized that a person should find joy in himself.aptly put,a person is ones own source of happiness.we mundane people look around for people to provide us with our doses of happiness.what we actually should be doing is looking inside our own selves for the same.
for friends out there who find it difficult to get over people,here's a list of mantras which is time-proven and well tested personally by me:-
- GO SHOP ALONE-buy stuffs u generally wont lay your hands on.or clothes you wont generally prefer because they are too fashionable for you or too outwardly.this without fail acts as a feel good factor.who would'nt want to look unusually hot??? n different??
- GO PARTY ALONE-try it! you will be shocked at how much you love it.dance as u wish.with whom ever you wish.as long as u wish.shout out the songs being played.no one will give a damn around you shouting, credit given to the high decibels of music already playing.
- GO FOR A CONCERT OR TO AN ART SHOW ALONE-hit the concert you generally used to miss because "someone" found it boring (or too much to handle ;-) ). or go to an art show.the kind of people there will uplift your spirits because all are looking for meanings of life and human emotions in some inanimate thing.plus it will strike to you as a total opposite on how you see life.(trying to find meanings in animate stuff)
- MEET OLD FRIENDS-if u have been avoiding people lately, you should refrain from doing it now.meeting old friends bring back old happy times.plus seeing them happy to see you assures your inner self that you are still wanted,and very much wanted.
- JOIN HOBBY CLASSES-always wanted to learn belly dancing??why wait??if u have been yearning to learn how to cook better or sing better or for that matter play a guitar or be able to swim,this is the right time to learn.why?you are now flowing with positive energy which will lead you to self realization if given the right push in the right direction.who knows you may find a superstar in you?

AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN UP.

"The primary form of harassment that we're seeing is actually non-contact: it tends to be remarks, gestures and jokes. But the fact that one-third of college students are experiencing some form of physical harassment is certainly a concern."
what i faced just a few hours back can very well be termed as "taking the fairer sex for granted".and thou it is extremely common today,no one ever raises a voice against the people who are guilty.all around i can see people shouting anti corruption slogans and taking out rallies and what not against reservations,scams,government...
but no one bothers about-woman harassment.
recently 3 bodies of minor girls were found in west Delhi.one body with no clothes on was found near nizamuddin,a woman was raped by auto drivers and his friends when she was already trying to escape her relative who was raping her, by hiring an auto.and then of course our radhika tanwar.small happenings??not worth noticing??perhaps because they are so frequent that it hardly makes a difference for most of us.what everyone fails to notice is the presence of the word "FREQUENT".AND THIS EXACTLY WHY IT IS HIGH TIME WE PEOPLE NEED TO TAKE UP THIS ISSUE JUST AS SERIOUSLY AS WE TAKE UP ISSUES LIKE CORRUPTION,BUDGETS,POLITICS,AND EARTHQUAKES.
my inspiration for this post-i got a call from a guy claiming to be rahul chaudhary from new friends colony.he said he saw me 1.5 years back and that he is feeling lonely and thus he WANTS to talk to me.to which i reacted like any girl would.i told him sternly to forget about ever calling me back because i am not interested.and i disconnected the call.he called me back several times.after sometime i decided to take his call and know what actually was his problem.and as usual,he talked all rubbish and called me names and even went on to say that he would like to meet me.anyways.i tried to reason out with him.for all my well wishers...i did.
this incident urged me enough to write about harassment the fairer sex is facing now a days.WHAT I WANT..AND WHAT ALL FEMALES TODAY IN A METRO LIKE DELHI NEED IS BETTER EXECUTION OF LAWS IN ORDER TO NAIL DOWN THE GUILTY.because we have a lot many laws in INDIAN PENAL CODE like section 375 and 377.but what lacks is an efficient system of execution of these laws.only then can such instances of outraging of a woman's modesty be controlled.even we are the citizens of india.our rights and well-being too deserves a treatment like that of curroption.

ATLAST AGREED.

A Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference.
Thomas Jefferson.
so if not the bill of rights..atleast lokpal bill has been accepted and forwarded by making pranab mukherjee as the chairman and shanti bhushan as the co-chairman of the proposed committee.it had to be accepted...
MORAL-Democracy works when people claim it as their own.
ON A FRIDAY AFTERNOON.THE WOMEN RYTS AFTERNOON.

"woman was taken out of man; not out of his head to top him, nor out of his feet to be trampled underfoot; but out of his side to be equal to him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be loved"
today as i boarded d bus to sarojini nagar..i met a senior.a female senior.as we gt on d bus..we bth headed fr d seats reserved fr ladies in dtc buses on the left side.two men were seated over there.my senior politely asked one of them to kindly leave d seat as it were reserved fr d female lot.i waited on in d hope tht d second man too wud gt up.instead d man v askd bfr strtd shouting at us demanding y shud he gt up wen he sat thr bfr us??bth my senior n me strtd to convince hm tht its reservd fr ladies only.bt all in vain.he kept on shouting at us n telling us to shutup.
ultimately bth of us did wht all delhi girls should do wen encounterd by a threatning situation..we called up 100.n guess wht?d man got up silently ryt aftr hearing us call the police.
MORAL- 1)never b afraid in public of any wrong doer.
2)always remember the numbr 100
3)nvr succumb to rogues who insult u or in any way threaten u.
YEH DILLI HAI MERE YAAR!!NO ISHK MOHABBAT PYAAR1!!!LOL.

SUPPORT TO ANNA HAZARE-RYT OR A WRONG STEP??

I SIT ON A MANZ BACK,CHOKING HM N MKNG HM CARY ME,AND YET ASURE MYSLF N OTHRZ DAT M VERY SORY 4 HZ L0T N WISH 2 EASE HM-XCPT BY GTNG OFF HZ BCK.-LEO TOLSTOY..
after a close scrutiny of what the government has proposed and wht is being proposed by anna hazare and party..i come to ths conclusion that the government proposal biased and ARBITRARY. in all senses..to prove my point..following are the questions which should satisfy my readers abt my view.
1)y has the government excluded the common public frm initiating investigations and filing complaints??are we nt a part of THE WORLDS LARGEST DEMOCRACY??
2)y has the lokpal not being given the power to prosecute those indicted??further y are the words-"competant authority" and "which might not take action" included in the governments proposal??if the authority is competant enough,(as said)y will it not take action?to hide the sins of the "people who represent us?"
3)y have been officials,politicians and judges excluded from the list of people over whom the lokpal can give a decision?is it done so that ultimately these people can upturn the decision of the lokpal and save the guilty when indicted by the same?or is it because these people are afraid of something??
4)y no limit has been set for the completion of a trial??WHATEVER HAPPENED TO JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED?
4)y are bureaucrats excluded?
and finally..y is there no provision of seizing illegal wealth of these people?if we the common people dont pay taxes,or dont pay our installments on time..our property is seized..Y SUCH DEMARCATION AND UNJUSTNESS??
SO,IF THE GOVERNMENT CAN ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS EFFECTIVELY,I,PERSONALLY WILL SUPPORT THE GOVERNMENT...ITS NOT JUST ME WHO NEEDS ANSWERS..ITS THE WHOLE OF INDIA..AND PEOPLE LIKE ANNA HAZARE.

MY THOTS 2DAY...

i m sitting on my hostel bed with ths book in my hand....its calld-WORLDS GR8 QUOTATIONS,THOTS N EPIGRAMS.i m reading ths thot on TEARS.it says...
OF ALL THE PORTIONS OF LIFE,IT IS IN THE TWO TWILIGHTS,CHILDHOOD N AGE THAT TEARS FALL WITH THE MOST FREQUENCIES...LIKE THE DEW AT DAWN N EVE.
W.L ALGER.
u knw its one thot that i have found so tuching aftr a REAL LONG TYM...its so very tru.when we r young...we r so innocent.so unknwn to the ugly aspects of the world.NOT LIFE.life is nevr ugly.its the ppl comprising the world dat mk it LOOK ugly.anyways...childhood signifies the dawn of r lives.at ths point of r lives,evn the slitest of wounds or the smallest of pains seem so big...so big that we cry endlessly ovr thm...utter foolishness!!....these tears depict r deep ignorance of the fact thst life is sweetest or the most delicious wen we r young.it is the litest possible thn,bt grows stronger wid the passage of tym...just like wine.litest wen new...strnger wid tym...
thus,the tears of old age flow bcuz of the fact that we have seen life-the ugliest n d darkest patches of it.either the fear that all of it wud return agn makes us cry...or the repentance of what we cud be or do bt didnt,breaks us dwn..m nt sure wich one is correct...or if at all eithr one of it is...
altho my dawn has gone...bt my aftrnoon is yet to cum...i cn feel it cuming....the tym wen the sun shines the britest-happiness or hardships????its yet to b discovrd...
