Orissa for Islamic laws for Muslim women
2007-09-21
Distressed Muslim women in Orissa [India] may not get any help from the law against domestic violence as the Orissa Government likes to follow Islamic laws in their cases. The state Government would like to go by Islamic laws as “we need not enter into controversies by entertaining cases relating to Muslim women,” Women and Child Development Minister Pramilla Mallick said on Monday.
Boggle.
Mallick said the Government faced opposition from the Muslim community when it tried to intervene when one Nazma Bibi’s husband wanted to withdraw talaq given in an inebriated state in Bhadrak last year. “The Government faced ire of the Muslims by trying to help Nazma Bibi.” Admitting that a large number of Muslim women also face violence, she said “what can we do? With Nazma’s experience, we will like to take steps with adequate precaution”.

#2  I'm shocked they'd admit rape, even in a survey. but humilated is a daily thing. I remember being shocked the first time I saw my neighbors 8 year old son snap his fingers at her and order her to get him tea, granted I was in the ME, but at least ask nicely. I fussed and said his mom was tired and he should take care of himself, but being the silly American, I was ignored.....
And that was a really nice family....
back to work....

#1  Iff I remember corrrectly, believe it was HAARETZ that has an article on a female Muslim celebrity's new film depicting the pervasive rape and murder of Muslim women in their society??? Article also indics that over 40% of female Muslim respondents to a survey/poll indic they had been raped andor humiliated by Muslim men.
