I am agree it is the gross violation of human right. And need some thing must be done to eleminate this abuse system. It is only possible if the bohra women stand up and fight this evil system.

Please, see my posts on page 6 with my thoughts. Equal rights or wrongs, man should sit for 4 months and 10 days. Amtes do not sit, stand up for your rights. Stone age custom. Do not expect any fatwa from Muffy as he is you know who and what he is...

Bohrabhai, please explain who wrote these documents? It is a hybrid of multi languages. They tell you what you can not do and very cleverly not tell you what you can and should do to pass time.

I think, the strict rules in Islam were introduced according to the circumstances in Arabia that existed in those times. Arabs were and still known to be quite uncivilized/nomadic and considered/consider women as just sex objects... Its only oil and gas which have made the Arabs pretty rich off lately but by character and behavior, they still remain uncivilized, inhuman, and arrogant. Arabs act on their whims and fancy as can be seen today by their decision to attack Yemen... Now, whether the rules should be changed, who has the authority to change is out of question so the rules will continue till the end of the world!

Remember the Dawaat originated from Yemen, a part of Arabia.So now we know why the current occupants of Saify Mahal are arrogant and uncivilized since they have Arab blood.

Iddat, was prescribed, very likely, as a means to establish paternity. If a woman were to marry someone else very soon after her husband's death, and became pregnant, it would be complicated to establish who the father was. This would in turn lead to complications in inheritance etc. Notice that only "mehram" men are allowed to see the widow, as these can not marry her, giving credence to this idea.

These days, pregnancy can be established in about 5 minutes using kits available in any pharmacy. Hence, the original motivation for iddat are no longer relevant. However, iddat has now mutated into a sort of ritual, which is imposed on women by mad mullahs. It is an ultimate form of humiliation, as it tells women that they can't be trusted to keep their legs together. Of course, no such requirement is imposed on men.

However, I would not call it "gross violation of human rights". Islam, in many ways, has very negative views about women. This is just a peculiar manner in which bohras express their disgust for women. There are far worse things: FGM, ordering women to sit in the corner of the home, forcing them to adopt particular dress code are even bigger violations of human rights. These take away fundamental free agency from women, keeping them perpetual subjugation of men.

I agree with you that Iddat may not be gross violation of Human rights in ISLAM but here we are discussing about the rituals of Iddat in Bohras, How do yo justify asking a 78 year old woman to sit in the corner of house not to read newspaper, not watch TV, do not see the mirror and confined her to a small self created prison. It seems like BOHRA Iddat in nothing more than a SATI of Hinduism, both barbaric and BOHRA IDDAT has nothing to to with ISLAMIC IDDAT

I agree with your points. Many rituals in religions, for example, the Bohra interpretation of Islam, are absurd and ridiculous. It is time to put these behind us and catch up somewhat with rest of the world. Bohras in particular are very superstitious (auspicious times, strange rituals to obtain successes …) and such absurd things should be examined and discarded. Bohra iddat is one such absurd custom.

Can some one explain why mehramdar marados are allowed. It seems no one has heared of incest leading to children. So why not ban ALL the marados for zero percent chance of pregnancy.

The goal is to make it otherwise legal relationships impossible. Obviously, one can't prevent or take into account every possibility, like incest or some lover climbing in from the window, etc. However, there is no logic to these things. Religious injunctions are often of this sort. They don't make sense when you look at them closely. A good option to not think too much about it.

Iddat was prescribed not only to ascertain paternity but a bereaved woman is in a emotional and vulnerable state and there are man out who will like to take advantage of her in such state hence Iddat was prescribed. I am talking about Islamic iddat and not the one practiced by Bohras.

I agree. Hence, we see A.C. Buggywala Muffadul is taking everyone for a ride. A problem primarily caused by unthinking bohras, several of who we see on this forum itself. They won't even question the most loony-tunes pronouncement by their "more-las". Perfect examples of unthinking zombies.

Very well said. There is a strong streak of sexism and even misogyny among 99% of Muslims. Part of the problem comes from fundamental (mis)interpretation of scriptures themselves. Part of it is the general patriarchal culture in which Islam has taken root.

If you notice the attitudes displayed by Dawedar Mr. Muffadul Saifuddin (LA), women must sit in corner, should sew, cook and take care of kids, study only home science, should be forced to wear rida otherwise kicked out of the house, you will notice all the symptoms of misogyny and sexism. Not surprising that his followers are similar. As the saying goes "Jaisa Raja, waisee praja".

Thank you for the advice. But, no thanks. Try not to control what people do. If you feel you should behave in a particular way, please do so. The difference between an "abde" is that I don't accept anything at face value, and don't hold anything particularly sacred. However, I do feel strongly about somethings, specially about the Dawedar Muffadul (LA) who has taken over an otherwise nice community and turned it into a mockery of its former self. If you don't like me using LA suffix, you can put me on ignore and don't have to read what I write.

My friend, I don't get agitated easily. I am just telling you matter of fact. It is easy to ignore what you don't like. Just a few clicks. Also, I have no problem if people criticize. I have been on this board far, far longer than you, perhaps since it inception (on another ID which I have now lost). I have dealt with many difficult people, and you are perhaps more sane than many others. So don't worry about me getting agitated! I am not.

I found this on net.

"2.234. Those among you who die, leaving behind their wives: they (the wives) shall keep themselves in waiting for four months and ten days, (during which they should refrain from marrying and from self-adornment with a view to presenting themselves for marriage). When they have reached the end of the waiting term, then there is no blame on you for what they may do by themselves within (the bounds of) decency. God is fully aware of all that you do."

••• Iddat ni haalat ma tamaam medium of communications thi door rahe je hamna maujood chhe - Social media, Television, Internet etc.

how come this rule made at the time of Rasullulauh(SAWS)!!

This rule seems weird. A woman in iddat is not allowed to leave the house during day time when it is actually safer but allowed to leave after midnight when it is more dangerous? During day time other people might see but during night time only miscreants will see her!!!

the ayah 2.234 is self explanotory.
it only says she should wait for 4 months and 10 days for marraige.
nothing like the stupid seclusion which is practised today.
she can live a normal life like everybody. only she should not get married.
this may be coz of pregnancy issues which could cause complication later.

Anyways, most of bohraism is mixture of hindu traditions, thus rules of iddat also reflects the same. the restrictions that are imposed on widows. only women must do the "sog" while men can merrily marry around any number of women as they please be wife dead or alive .. bunch of bullcrap !

One of my wife's aunt passed away due to this stupid custom. She had a heart attack while in Iddat. Like FGM there can not be a law against Iddat as it is a social custom. Quite often the widowed ladies want to do it as they are programmed. Our Kothar will not let this practice go away as it loosens their social grip. The whole purpose of Iddat is for deciding paternity if it happens to be there. My grand mother who was pregnant had to follow Iddat for 8 months when my uncle was born.

If the husband is lost one waits for 10 to 12 years, depending up on over the water or the land.

The science is so advanced now that one can detect pregnancy within a few days of its occurrence and the paternity can be confirmed by the DNA analysis.

There is no cure for stupidity.
