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, Jul 31: Gyms in Bengaluru carried out sanitation work on Thursday following the Centre's nod to reopen gyms from August 5, after several weeks of COVID-induced lockdowns.

"We are taking all the precautionary measures prescribed by the government and will follow the guidelines very strictly. A thermal scanner, oximeter and hand sanitizers have been placed at the entrance of the gym. 

We request all other gym owners also to follow the guidelines strictly to keep their members safe and healthy," said Prasad Kumar, a gym owner in Bangalore.

He added, "The last few months have been very difficult for us gym owners and fitness instructors. We are very grateful to the government for allowing us to re-open. 

We are going to be very cautious when we open. Even before this COVID-19 pandemic, we used to sanitise all the equipment before and after every use so hopefully, this won't be too difficult for us. We are getting rid of the air conditioners to allow cross ventilation and open the space a little more."

According to Chandu Gowda, an actor and frequenter of the gym, working out at home was not the same as working out in the gym with the proper equipment.

"I'm very glad that I get to come back and work out as I used to before this lockdown. For an actor, working out is extremely important, not just for my physical health but also mental health. 

Doing exercises at home is never as good as exercising in a space dedicated to one purpose. I hope other members of the gym follow the rules and regulations religiously," Gowda said.
