Islamic Stand On Homosexuality To Be Discussed At Two-Day Symposium in Srinagar
Homosexuality among other social problems faced by present-day society will be discussed at a two-day seminar themed "Theories of Islamic Law: The methodology of Ijtihad" to be held in Srinagar.
Organised by the University of Kashmir in collaboration with the Institute of Objective Studies, New Delhi, the event saw religious scholars and academicians deliberating on the ways to explore means and methods of Ijtihad (the analysis of problems not covered precisely in the Qur'an) to find solutions to contemporary problems in the light of original sources of Sharia (Quran and Sunnah).
"We discussed the main issues that are coming forth and also how to solve them in the light of religion and law," said Prof. Naseem Raifiabadi of the Kashmir University on the concluding day on Sunday.
The Delhi High Court recently ruled that gay sex and lesbian relationships were no longer a crime, a verdict that strengthened demands by gay and health groups for the government to scrap a British colonial law, which bans homosexual sex under section 377 of Indian Criminal Procedure Code and has provision of punishment for indulging in it.
But, the court verdict was received with heavy criticism by all religious groups in India saying it would lead to moral degradation in the society and demanded that the court's ruling be annulled.
Meanwhile, in Srinagar, large number of students participated in the two-day symposium, in which other social issues like crime, dowry and women rights were also deliberated upon.
