Kasargod, Jul 8: In an inhuman act, a Madrasa in Kozhikode has debarred a fifth standard girl student for wearing sandal bindi on her forehead.
The girl had sported a bindi on her forehead when acting a role she had been given in a short film. Taking offense at this act, the Madrasa expelled her from the class.
Father of the girl, Malayil, has strongly condemned this act. In a Facebook post, he said that he is lucky that the family was not stoned for this mistake.
A number of persons, who followed this post, have condemned the Madrasa for its action. Some others have stood by the Madrasa, holding that it was justified in acting against the erring student. They say that Muslim girls are barred from wearing bindi as per Shariyat law and that wearing of bindi should be treated as un-Islamic.
