| | Death of Fiza: Suicide or murder | | | Dear Editor,
It refers to dead body of Fiza (former Anuradha Bali) found at her Chandigarh residence. Bigger question is who is responsible for the death; any individual (including Fiza herself) or the system?
Misuse of religion just for sake of enjoying sex through second marriage should be practically prohibited by amending relevant laws including Muslim Law. Second marriage by any person, even after conversion to Islam should be made non-bailable offence even though first wife might not have raised any objection. Even the Hindu law should be amended so that having a second wife may attract a criminal punishment including holding such marriages illegal.
Islamic scholars and institutions have also condemned such tactics by making it clear that adoption of Islam just for marriage-purpose is anti-Islam. Many Hindus adopt Islam symbolically only for having a second marriage legally, even though in practical life they have faith and belief in Hinduism for all practical purposes performing all Hindu rituals in day-to-day life. There are celebrities like former Parliamentarian and film-star Dharmender who adopted Islam just for one day to have a provision for a husband to have second marriage and then converted back to adopt Arya Samaj on the very next day.
Politically speaking, it was not proper that a crazy person like former Haryana Deputy Chief Minister Chander Mohan (Chand) became important political ruler only because of dynastic political system in India, because his father had been a political heavyweight. Episodes like these should be an eye-opener for instigating reforms in the system, whereby children of political rulers may not get automatic entry to become political rulers.
