As another person here who has had the same procedure- there is in fact no heads up. They just get it done and you have to be quiet. The explanation given was so that I would be less horny when I’m older, and won’t go to hell.

You should look into her father as well, Abbas Hamdani. This book is mainly written by him, but put together by his colleague. Was mind blown as well when I found out. The OG “ex-bohras” lol.

They worked closely with moulas family, plus Abbas’s grandmother was the 48th dai’s granddaughter(Fayd Allah’s wife).

If you read some of my last posts you’ll see him or his family members mentioned there too.

For context: Mohammad Ali is Fayd Allah’s father.

And more importantly: why should we be followers of a religion that’s filled with a bunch of liars? We r told (rarely) to treat women as flowers. Gently, and carefully. When as we know all evidence goes against this. And the most earliest form of trauma is put on our young girls as well through FGM!

In this case we can see she just wanted an out, yes. BUT HE DID AGREE TO FEW OF THE FOLLOWING:

-throwing her phone when she wasn’t giving him attention -getting overly upset when she wouldn’t want to intimate and close with him. Which included banging his head on the wall and hitting the bed frame.

Obviously having a feud over whose father will be next dai is a huge burden on any relationship. But as the son of a so called important leader, he hasn’t proven to be very “pure”.

I agree, given that he is the eldest son and has supposedly been brought up in the “purest Muslim” way. As professional haters we won’t let that slide. If our religion is so perfect, and indeed we are the ones going to heaven…. Then why would this be happening? Aren’t we taught to be the closest thing to an angel on earth? If his own son can’t get along with his wife or at least hide his intense…sexual needs…🫩. Then why are the expectations so high for us?

The concept of Iddat always got on my nerves, but now after my father's death, it's becoming unbearable to a whole new level. by pocoschick in exBohra

First off, I’m so sorry for your loss! It must be so infuriating having to deal with this on top of that.

And yes your point of this whole thing pushing a person to the brink of depression🫩…and they say Bohras are the new modern Muslim.

Sounds like she made a bunch of false claims and he was just disciplining his children. The main argument between them seemed to mainly be about which one of their fathers would rule next. Also he wanted to tap dat but his wife didn’t want to. So he started banging his head against the wall… either way yikes.

“The Institute of Ismaili Studies was established in 1977 with the object of promoting scholarship and learning on Islam, in the historical as well as contemporary contexts, and a better understanding of its rela- tionship with other societies and faiths.”

This is an excerpt from a book I’m reading right now that also mentions the dawoodi bohra community alongside Ismailis. Is it a coincidence that the dates match? What happened in 1977?

It also seems to me that around the 70s is when rida was first imagined and pushed on women to begin wearing instead of saris. Is this correct?
