KISHTWAR
Launching an all-out attack against the holding of musical nights during marriages in Kishtwar district, Majlis-e-Shoora – an amalgam of religious bodies and Imams of various Masjids of Kishtwar headed by Imam Jamia Masjid Kishtwar – on Monday ordered imposition of blanket ban on such activities.
The Shoora added that any violation in this regard will be dealt with strictly.
As per the details available with Kashmir Life, an emergency meeting of Majlis-e-Shoora Kishtwar was held at Jamia Masjid Kishtwar under the Chairmanship of its President Farooq Ahmed Kichloo, Imam Jamia Masjid Kishtwar, in which more than 70 persons including religious scholars participated and held discussions over the issue and termed it as “anti-Islamic”.
The Shoora during the course of the meeting held a detailed discussion over various issues faced by the society including growing western culture into the society.
At the conclusion of the meeting, Shoora committee unanimously called for an end to organizing of “Musical” programs in marriages and imposed blanket ban on such events that has witnessed massive increase in last few years.
The Shoora committee reached to a decision that in case if any one violates the decision, no Imam of Kishtwar district or from Chenab valley will perform Nikah (Marriage agreement among Muslims to be performed by religious person or Imam) in the marriage of such persons who will be found violating the directions.
The Shoora also asked the people not to beat drums or crack firecrackers during or before marriage function and sighted the example of friends visiting the marriage parties along with gifts including sheep and goats commonly called as Yaarkout.
While talking to Kashmir Life, one of the participants informed that there was immediate need to bring an end to “Western culture” growing in our society at rapid rate.
“There is need to curtail the marriage expenses. Due to expensive marriages, the poor families suffer badly,” he added.
“The marriages these days have become costly affair – youth are distancing themselves from marriages due to involvement of huge marriage costs which ultimately push them towards adultery,” he observed and added, “time has come to keep check on growing vulgarity and nudity in the marriages.”
He said that in future Shoora will take a call on growing drug menace, dress codes as well as fixing the slab on marriages.
He urged upon the parents of young boys and girls to keep an eye on activities of their children and keep regularly tracking them while they are away from home.
