Law Of The Land ...
Or is it the law of the jungle? I always thought despite adversities, this country is still largely run by the law. My faith is fast petering out.
We have goons like Togadiya, Modi running amok with riots, and have quite a fanfare. We have a Thackray clan who is law unto itself. They can pull down whole machinery of Mumbai city. No words can do justice to the mockery to the law, which Laloo and his thugs are.
Mayawati, and even worse, Jayalalita have chipped in to fill the numbers for ladies. We have Panchayats in western Uttar Pradesh and Haryana, who refute High Court orders openly.
And now we have another parallel law body - All India Muslim Personal Law Board. They follow Shariyat, not country's law. Forget oral triple talaq, the are considering allowing that via emails. But two days back, I saw the biggest bogey.
The gentleman, who was the spokesman for the board, said that they won't discourage child marriage. Reason ? Well, these days grooms are hard to come by, therefore if a family finds a suitable boy at any age, it's better for them.
Good for the family, yes; poor girl, their foot!
When he was reminded of the health problems associated with it, he feigned ignorance, and rather passed the blame to the lack of healthcare facilities. What else could be expected anyway of him, as they don't teach that in Madrassas.
And I am sure, they will get away with this. Law of the land or jungle raj ? Pratyaksha Ko Praman Ki Zaroorat Nahin Hoti(no need to prove the obvious). No wonder my belief is fast petering out!
