Movie nights,
dances, dinners, sports, prom, pool days – there was always something to do.
Everything was accessible as well, keeping in mind where we were. During
school, there was no frustration based on being a female in Saudi Arabia – the
thought never even came up. Only now that I am graduated, I notice how
exasperating daily life can be for a woman.....

Hadiya/Akhila
Critics have
argued that by ordering the annulment of marriage, the court has legitimised
the love jihad propaganda. Feminists have also noted the gross infantilisation
of Hadiya, the erosion of her agency and the silencing of her voice by the
heavy hand of patriarchy. Certainly, in voiding the marriage and granting
Haidya’s custody to her father, the high court assumed the mantle of parens
patriae. Her vociferous denial of the charges of force was dismissed with
assertions about her mediocre intelligence, young age and incapacity to think
independently....

Mohsin Saleem Ullah
Divorce is one
of acts most discouraged — yet legal — by Allah. Before Islam, the Arabs were
free to divorce their wives and take them back as they pleased. When Islam
came, this practice was invalidated. As indicated by the Prophet’s truism,
offering Talaq to the wife in a fit of rage or anger is entirely illegal. A man
is more capable — in any event, hypothetically — of controlling his fluttering
feelings and individual responses when vexed about the little issues in life:
particularly regarding the debate with his better half. It has been
scientifically proven that women make decisions based on emotions and have
frequent mood swings....

“Each community
has its own reasons for increasing divorce cases. The main reason for divorce
in our community is marriage without understanding, knowledge and love.” Other
reasons are: marriage without planning as some individuals marry brides who are
their mothers’ choice; lack of belief in future security and decay of social
values and lack of efforts to formulate alternative values and systems to
stabilize families….

Marriage Most Foul
K. Venkateshwarlu
Hyderabad had a long history of Nizams
hiring Chaush Arabs, mostly from Yemen, as military guards who were lodged in
barracks (now known by the corrupted colloquial name of Barkas). These Arabs
brought along with them the ritual of paying dowry and offering gifts to
families who gave their girls in marriage. When oil was struck in Saudi Arabia
and other parts of West Asia, and the situation turned tumultuous in Hyderabad
in the late 1940s, a number of Chaush Arabs preferred to return to their
country, taking with them their local wives and relatives. But the ritual
stayed behind. …
