Facing the indignity of having to sleep with a stranger just to return to a husband who has pronounced Triple Talaq in a fit of anger; running from pillar to post to end a marriage by begging for Khula, Denied by Allah is a book that mirrors stories of women for whom even God does not seem to have mercy. These are women who have opened the windows of their bleak, painful lives in these pages; some surviving Mut'ah (pleasure), a temporary marriage, eq-uivalent to prostitution. This book discusses medieval laws irrelevant in the 21st century, sexist biases that pass for conventions, life impacting decisions made only by men which have denied women basic respect and protection, dignity and humaneness, often in the name of religion. The book asks, what has the community gained by keeping half of its population backward, illeducated, chained to archaic laws, unwell and deprived? And how long will the laws for Muslim women in democratic India remain the same as in any Shariahgoverned country? Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

'Denied By Allah' is a very strong eye opener book that
showcases the atrocities carried out on women in the name of religion and laws.It is shocking to know that such practices are taking place within the Muslim community in a secular country like India, they might be happening even now when I am writing this.
After reading the book, there is so much anger, anguish, emotions, sadness and helplessness engulfed inside me. I feel so weak when I just visualise a woman undergoing the torture.
Hats off to Noor Zaheer for binging out this book. I admit there might be several works done about this, but somehow I got connected to this book maybe because of the news channels and magazines talking mostly about the Triple Talaq issues in the recent past.
What a book !!!!
