Twenty-one eminent citizens of the country have expressed their disappointment over the High Court's verdict that said women cannot become Nikah (Muslim marriage) registrars due to certain "physical conditions" and social as well as practical situations of the country.
"Recently, the High Court gave a verdict where it said women cannot be Muslim marriage registrars. This verdict has shocked and offended us," a statement signed by the 21 said today.
It said that women carry out all kinds of work during menstruation and that in Islam it wasn't obligatory to perform marriage ceremonies at mosques.
