| Television out of bounds for Muslim women LUCKNOW: With ulema calling the shots, life for Muslim women in a minority-dominated town in Bijnor, will never be the same again. Simple and harmless pleasures like visiting friends, a trip to the market or tuning in to their favourite soap could be denied to them. Local clerics have decided to impose a strict ban on "potential corrupting influence on female minds that threaten to violate Islamic tenets". |
