Mangalore, November 4: Giving priority to beauty while choosing life-partner is the root cause of the family chaos in modern times, said Udupi Qazi Ibrahim Musliyar Bekal.

He was speaking after inaugurating the mass marriage organised by Abu Dhabi based Bearys Welfare Forum at Milagres Hall in the city on Sunday.

Recalling Prophet Muhammad's marriage tips that “A woman is married for four reasons: her wealth, her family status, her beauty and her religiosity. Choose (marry) the religious woman so that your home will be in abundance”, Musliyar said if any Muslim man ignored this hadith while choosing a life partner, he would not attain success.

Mangalore Qazi Thwaka Ahmed Musliyar said that lack of religiosity leads to destruction of family values.

“The reason behind dowry menace is also people's ignorance about Islamic teachings,” he said adding that there is solution for all the problems of man's life in Islam.

Speaking on the occasion former higher education minister B A Mohidin pointed out that mass marriages cannot be the permanent solution for dowry menace. “We need to eradicate the root cause of the dowry”, he said.

The programme commenced with the recitation of Quranic verses by Rahil, a student of Iqra Arabic School, Mangalore. Mohammad Rafeeq Krishnapur welcomed the gathering. Abdullah Madumoole gave a brief introduction about the activities of BWF. Basheer Bajpe unveiled the future plans of the Forum.

BWF president Mohammad Ali Uchil presided over. Umar U H proposed vote of thanks. B A Mohammad Ali compered the programme. MLA U T Khader, Y Sudhir Shetty, Althaf Khatheeb, S M Rashid, Mohammad Badruddin, B M Mumthaz Ali, Muhammad Ameen and B M Shareef were present among others.

As many as 16 couples entered marital life in the presence of dignitaries. Qazis led the 'Nikah' proceedings.

This is the fourth mass wedding ceremony organised by BWF, which is currently celebrating its decennial year.

Based in Abu Dhabi, BWF is a union of expat Bearys hailing from coastal Karnataka. Social service, special encouragement to education, awards and felicitations for talented people and achievers are some of the activities of the organisation.

With its anti-dowry stance, BWF had organised mass weddings for the poor in 2008, 2009 and 2011 too. A total of 58 couples have been married off by the organisation till now.

Bengaluru, Feb 10: A group of women on Monday started a protest against Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), National Register of Citizens (NRC), and National Population Register (NPR) here near Bilal Masjid.

Members of the transgender community on Sunday had also taken out a march here to express solidarity with those protesting against CAA, NRC, and NPR.

The newly enacted law is facing stiff opposition across the country with some states including Kerala, West Bengal, Rajasthan and Punjab refusing to implement it. Rajasthan, Kerala, and Punjab have also passed resolutions against the amended citizenship law in their legislative Assemblies.

The CAA grants citizenship to Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Parsi, Buddhist, and Christian refugees from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh, who came to India on or before December 31, 2014.
