The truth about the Birth of Aghakhan
The truth about the Birth of Aghakhan
<br>On November 4, 1935, the High Court of Justice at Strand, <br>London, pronounced a decree nisi dissolving the marriage between <br>Thomas Guinness, a member of the British Parliament, and, his wife <br>Honourable Joan Guinness. Joan later became the mother of Karim - <br>Aga Khan the fourth. The grounds mentioned in the divorce petition <br>filed before the High Court were that "the Respondent (Honourable <br>Joan) had frequently committed adultery with Prince Aly S. Khan <br>(father of the unborn Karim) from the 17th day of April 1935 until <br>the 20th day of April 1935 at Hotel Ritz, Place Vendome, Paris." <br>Note: The words within the parentheses are mine. <br>Aly Khan was declared a co-respondent and had to pay the costs. <p>Prince Aly eagerly waited for the High Court's decree nisi to <br>be made absolute. On May 11, 1936 the decree became absolute and <br>Joan, the daughter of a former ADC to the Viceroy of India and a <br>mother of one male child, was free to remarry. Within eight days, <br>on May 18, Aly and Joan got married in a Town Hall of Paris. The <br>couple got remarried at the Paris Mosque. At the wedding an <br>announcement was made that the couple would remarry in India. The <br>idea of the third marriage ceremony, to be performed before the <br>followers, had to be abandoned because the Honourable Joan, who was <br>now Princess Joan, was already pregnant, records Mihir Bose. <p>In less than seven months of their marriage, Prince Joan gave <br>birth to Karim. The historical records differ as to the place and <br>date of Karim Aga Khan's birth. A history book published in 1960 by <br>the Ismailia Association for India records Karim son of Aly S. Khan <br>was born in Paris. Biographer Willi Frischauer records, he was born <br>in Geneva, Switzerland. Historian Mihir Bose records in his book <br>`The Aga Khans', Karim was born on 17th December 1936. Ismailis all <br>over the world celebrate their Imam Karim Al-Husseini's birthday on <br>December 13. <p>
