MARRIAGE

The one and only free public forum for Bohras. The focus of this forum is the reform movement, the Dawoodi Bohra faith and, of course, the corrupt priesthood. But the discussion is in no way restricted to the Bohras alone.

In Islam, men are allowed to marry Muslim women as well as Christian or Jewish women as explained in Quran 5:5 :-<p>"This day (all) the good things are allowed to you; and the food of those who have been given the Book is lawful for you and your food is lawful for them; and the chaste from among the believing women and the chaste from among those who have been given the Book before you (are lawful for you); when you have given them their dowries, taking (them) in marriage, not fornicating nor taking them for paramours in secret; and whoever denies faith, his work indeed is of no account, and in the hereafter he shall be one of the losers."<p>The Prophet (s.a.w.) married Mariah, Coptic Christian.<p>However, the current Bohra practises forbid marriages to non-Bohras or even Bohras who have not paid all the taxes imposed by the kothar. Any violation would result in social boycott.<p>A perfect example of an un-Islamic innovation by the Bohra priests.<p><br>

This is a letter forced to be signed. It's what the khotar insists on when corssing non-bohras in marriages.<p>If not signed and wedlock is done outside of bohradom, then sever boycott and baraat is imposed on direct and indirect family members. The countless examples of baraat and emotional tortureyou will have read about/ discussed on this website speak for themselves.<p>_________________________-<br>The 52nd Dai al-Mutlaq<br>His Holiness Dr. Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin (TUS)<br>Head of Dawoodi Bohra Community<br>Badri Mahal<br>Dr. D N Road, Fort<br>Mumbai 400 001 <p>Syedna (TUS) <p>Sajadaat <p>We, the undersigned (girls full name) and (boys full name) undertake on our getting married to strictly adhere to the laws, rules, customs, traditions and culture of Dawat-e-Hadiyah and in all matters of religion, particularly matrimonial action, divorce, custody of children, maintenance and inheritance we agree to be governed by Islamic law as is interpreted by al-Dai al-Mutlaq.
