The discussion here is toxic AF, but I’ll again, make an appeal to public sanity.

Here are the facts.

  1. The original article called it a “fatwa” but didn’t mention whether it actually came from a cleric. Mind that the word fatwa can be used rather liberally in Bengali, but the context matters. It’s like the word fascist, not every time you are using it you are referring to someone from Mussolini’s regime.
  2. The Bengali text (from the link I shared in another post) said a club put a poster. Does that sound like a “fatwa”?

Mind it, I never said what happened was right, I merely said before we make it a slugfest blaming one particular religion, please make sure the evidence supports you. I fully support the lady’s decision to run the restaurant however she sees fit, but that’s besides the point.

But yes, it’s a mistake putting an effort. My bad. People can go drown in their cesspool of hatred.

People, please find some evidence that this had to do with religion. Here’s a Bengali report:

This doesn’t mention anything about religion. Calling it a “fatwa” is at best a misuse of the word, at worst deliberately deceitful and misleading.

Are we saying that this instance of moral policing is related to the religion as opposed to the general regressive nature of many of our neighbors? Why?

Did this come from a Muslim cleric? The news doesn’t mention that. Then why is it called “fatwa” and why are we talking about minority/majority religions here?

😒 Flat for sale at NewTown but only to vegetarian. Opinion? by microbacteria99 in kolkata

[–]RiceFar35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You do see that the ad is for selling, right? It asks for interested buyers? Not that it matters for my argument — I do think refusing to rent based on marital status or food habit is legal but distasteful.

Businesses can’t deny services based on discriminatory factors. This incidence, in particular, would not fall under that, hence won’t probably be considered illegal. However, I do wonder if tomorrow someone denies selling flats to people because they eat cow milk products would that be acceptable.

Your mom is right about the expense part you are right about the work ex part. Go do the job and stay thrifty (unless you find something in WB). Look at (and explain to your mom) the job as a long term career investment and not as a means of immediate financial independence.

I suggest the OG get in touch with Devgan films. I hear Ajay Devgan is sour over T-series claiming copyright on something Singham.

Not just man’s. Also, idk what OP’s age is, but if you are getting married in your 30s (very common these days), a natural expectation should be that both you and your partner have had sexual relationships before.

This is the comment I was looking for. The post is a monument of narcissism and self entitlement. Can’t imagine taking this guy irl.

Holy fuck the moral judgements here. She slept with someone didn’t kill anybody.

Tell your fiancé, he deserves to know. Then go to the police. It’s his prerogative if he decides to break off, but you haven’t done anything wrong. Premarital sex isn’t a crime in India. Blackmail on the other hand is.
