Bangladesh's Hindu women fight for divorce rights

Unlike her Muslim compatriots, Tarulata Rani is unable to inherit anything from her family, cannot divorce and cannot claim maintenance from her absent husband -- all because she is a Bangladeshi Hindu.

Unlike Bangladeshi Muslims or Hindus in neighbouring India and Nepal, Bangladeshi Hindu women can't divorce as the legal provisions do not exist and their marriages have not been allowed to be officially registered.

"Is it a crime to be born a Hindu girl?" Rani, 22, who was married two years ago, told AFP.

"I can't inherit any property. I can't divorce my husband and remarry even though he left me for another woman and beat me all the time."

Last month Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina approved a new law that will introduce official marriage registration for Hindus in Muslim-majority Bangladesh in a move designed to protect the rights of women like Rani.

The legislation, expected to be passed shortly in parliament, has been welcomed by civil rights activists and many Hindu women.

But critics say it is a token gesture that does not go far enough amid opposition from the religion's hardliners, who see it as unnecessary political interference in their cultural traditions.

Bangladesh has a secular legal system except in matters related to inheritance, marriage and divorce, when Muslims follow sharia law and Hindus follow laws based on ancient un-codified customs.

Under the new law, Hindus -- who make up 10 percent of the country's 152 million population -- will be able to register their marriages with local councils or courts for the first time.

"At the moment, when a Hindu man walks out on a marriage, the wife can't sue him for alimony or maintenance because lack of marriage papers make it almost impossible to prove that they were married at all," said lawyer Nina Goswami.

"Tens of thousands of Hindu men keep multiple wives, knowing that they can't be prosecuted," added Goswami, who is director of the respected rights group, Ain O Salish Kendra.

Goswami, herself a Hindu, has seen how lack of rights have driven many Hindu women to "unwanted jobs and extreme poverty" after they were dumped by their husbands.

However she believes that the government's new laws are only a token gesture to placate mainstream Hindu women without angering Hindu men, who generally vote for the Awami League, the current ruling party.

"Unfortunately, these women don't exist in the government's eyes and ears," she said. "To our politicians, the Hindu community is a big vote-bank, made up of only males."

The government rejects such criticism and says that it is hamstrung by hardline Hindu activists who oppose changes to the law.

Law Minister Shafique Ahmed told AFP the new legislation would cut down on polygamy, which is increasing among the Hindu males, and ensure maintenance rights for women whose partners have left them.

"We couldn't reform Hindu personal laws further because of opposition by Hindu groups including some of their most educated people. Hardliners did not even want registration of their marriages," Ahmed said.

Radical Hindu activists say they reject any reforms that go against their scriptures or traditions, saying divorce could threaten the basic foundation of the Hindu family.

"We don't mind optional registration because Hindu couples sometimes need the marriage certificate when they travel," said Hiren Biswas, the president of the Samaj Sangskar Parishad group.

"But we won't accept mandatory registration, or divorce and inheritance rights to women because our scriptures and customs don't allow them," he told AFP, alleging the new law was a conspiracy hatched by foreign-funded charities.

Muslim women in Bangladesh can divorce and seek damages for break-ups or sue their partners thanks to decades of legal activism by women and rights groups.

But Bangladeshi Hindus, who have suffered widespread persecution and religious discrimination since partition of the subcontinent in 1947, were bypassed by the new rights.

Despite the new laws, Hindu women face a long struggle as their community is split on whether women's issues are the best battlefield to fight for wider equality.

For leading reformers like Supreme Court lawyer Subrata Chowdhury, himself a Hindu, the battle must now move on.

"Persecution by Muslims, forcible conversion, eviction from land and stealing of our properties are more important now," he told AFP.

Buyer beware: Things that can go wrong with a real estate ...

KRISTIN BROWN-ORR ? Any real estate sale is fraught with intricacies too numerous to count. Every sale is different, with different buyers, different sellers, and different intermediaries. It?s no wonder people find the process so daunting, so full of legalities, documentation, and fine print.

As a home buyer, the more you know about what can go wrong with your real estate purchase, the more prepared you will be to protect your interests. Here are just a few of the problems you could encounter during a home purchase.

Failed home inspection.
If the home you are buying does not pass muster in an inspection, due to health or safety concerns, the seller should fix these issues or extend you a credit or discount on the sale price so that you can have them fixed. If he or she refuses to do so, you have the right to cancel the sale and search for a new home.

Poorly motivated seller. If the seller?s heart is not in the sale, he or she might be prone to missing or canceling appraisals and inspections ? all of which could threaten your purchase.

Seller hasn?t found a new home to move into. If a seller has trouble finding a replacement property and refuses to consider temporary arrangements, you might find yourself in a tricky timing situation ? particularly if you have a closing date on the home you are leaving. Are you prepared to wait it out in temporary housing while you wait for the seller to move out?

Title Issues.
If your seller owes money on the property you are buying, either for repayment of a debt, failure to pay taxes, or because money is owed for work completed on the property, creditors with an interest in that property may take out a lien, rendering the seller unable to sell until those debts are repaid. Meanwhile, the purchase is on hold.

Seller fails to make agreed upon repairs.
If the seller has contractually promised to deliver the property to you in a certain condition and fails to deliver, you have the right to terminate the contract, if you are not prepared to accept the property ?as is.? An alternative to this situation is to talk to your attorney or real estate agent about either requesting a sum of money to complete the fixes yourself, or requesting a hold back ? cash set aside until the work is complete.

Most traditional real estate transactions proceed smoothly, but being aware of the potential pitfalls will give you a leg up on any problems that could arise. That means doing your homework to be aware of your risks.

During the transaction, stay informed to be on the lookout for red flags and keep a watchful eye on the process and you?ll be prepared to address problems immediately and enjoy the home of your dreams.

(AP) ? Roger Federer gave Prince Charles a bow, then gave Fabio Fognini a royal thumping.

With the Prince of Wales visiting Wimbledon for the first time since 1970, Federer was at his best Wednesday and beat Fognini 6-1, 6-3, 6-2.

Federer, a six-time winner at the All England Club, won 37 of 41 points on his first serve and 21 of 23 points at the net against Fognini, an Italian ranked 68th.

Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall sat in the first row of the Royal Box as Federer walked onto Centre Court for the day's first match. He and Fognini stood side by side as they bowed awkwardly toward the royals, and Charles responded with a wave and grin.

"They do brief you beforehand," Federer said. "I guess you don't do anything stupid. You behave. Obviously we were asked to bow, which is obviously no problem to do. We're thrilled for the tennis family that they came to watch Wimbledon today."

When Federer completed his victory, Charles and Camilla joined the crowd's applause. He visited with the royal couple afterward for several minutes, talking about tennis, polo and Federer's young twin daughters.

"They were very nice, very sweet and thought I played great," Federer said, "which was very nice to get some compliments after the match, which was unnecessary, but of course I do appreciate it."

Seeded third, Federer hopes to end his 2?-year drought in major tournaments, and he's off to a good start, losing only nine games through two rounds. He seeks to add to his record total of 16 Grand Slam championships, and he could match the record of seven Wimbledon men's titles set by William Renshaw in the 1880s and tied by Pete Sampras in 2000.

"I'm just happy overall with how I'm playing," Federer said. "I'm serving well when I have to. I'm moving well. I feel like my forehand and backhand are working well. All of a sudden you win quite comfortably, but you have to focus until the very last point, and I'm happy as well with my concentration level."

Shortly after Federer's victory, rain interrupted play, and the retractable roof on Centre Court was closed for the first time in the tournament. Former No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki lost under the cover to Tamira Paszek, who saved two match points in the second set and won 5-7, 7-6 (4), 6-4.

Other Grand Slam champions advancing included Kim Clijsters and Andy Roddick, while reigning U.S. Open champion Samantha Stosur lost. More than 20 matches on outside courts were postponed until Thursday.

Sloane Stephens, a 19-year-old American playing at Wimbledon for the first time, saved five set points in the first set and beat No. 23 Petra Cetkovska 7-6 (6), 4-6, 6-3. In the final set, Stephens trailed love-30 in four consecutive service games, yet won them all.

"I'm 19 and I do still have some lapses," she said. "They're less now than I used to have in the past. I really don't get as upset when I lose points now. I'm not that emotional anymore."

Stephens is coming off her first run to the fourth round at a Grand Slam tournament, which happened this month at the French Open.

Heather Watson became the first British woman to reach the third round since 2002 when she defeated American Jamie Hampton 6-1, 6-4.

Sara Errani needed only seven seconds to complete a rain-interrupted win, and she didn't even have to hit a ball.

Errani led American CoCo Vandeweghe 6-1, 5-3 and held the advantage one point from victory when their match was halted Tuesday evening. They returned to Court 16 some 18 hours later, and when Vandeweghe double-faulted into the net on the first point, Errani had the win.

No. 21-seeded Milos Raonic required only one game to complete a rain-interrupted first-round win over Santiago Giraldo, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. No. 7 David Ferrer reached the second round by beating Dustin Brown 7-6 (5), 6-4, 6-4.

Three-time Wimbledon runner-up Roddick needed three hours over two days to complete a first-round win over British wild card Jamie Baker, 7-6 (1), 6-4, 7-5.

Clijsters, a four-time major champion playing Wimbledon for the final time, advanced to the third round by beating Andrea Hlavackova 6-3, 6-3.

The No. 5-seeded Stosur fell to 6-10 at Wimbledon when she was upset by 72nd-ranked Arantxa Rus 6-2, 0-6, 6-4. Her elimination meant that for the first time since 1939, no Australian man or woman reached the third round at Wimbledon.

No. 13 Dominika Cibulkova lost to Klara Zakopalova 6-4, 6-1. Former No. 1 Ana Ivanovic beat Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez 6-3, 3-6, 6-3.

American Mardy Fish said he declined interviews after his first-round victory because of a stomach problem related to pain medication he's taking for his right arm ? and not related to his heart. He expects to be ready for his second-round match Thursday.

Fish spoke to reporters Wednesday, a day after he beat Ruben Ramirez-Hidalgo in straight sets. It was the first match for Fish since a medical procedure in May to try to pinpoint an accelerated heartbeat.

Federer took only 23 minutes to win the first set and continued to pull away. The inconsistent Fognini fell to 1-16 against top-10 players but did manage some spectacular shots, and the players shared smiles after several improbable points that had the crowd roaring.

There was a brief moment of drama when Federer slipped behind the baseline after hitting a forehand. His legs splayed and his left knee landed hard on the grass.

"I'm fine," he said. "No pain, which is good. It could be dangerous with the left knee. I'm happy it was only basically a bruise to the ground, and not anything in the knee itself."

Supreme Court Narrows Arizona Immigration Law - The BLT: The ...

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday rejected key provisions in Arizona's tough anti-immigration law, but let stand controversial police checks of immigration status.

In Arizona v. U.S., a 5-3 majority, led by Justice Anthony Kennedy, held that three of four provisions in the law challenged by the Obama Administration were preempted?or blocked?by federal immigration law. Justice Elena Kagan did not participate in the case.

Kennedy said the following three provisions were preempted because they either conflicted with federal law or because Congress has "occupied the field" with federal regulation and "even complementary state regulation" is impermissible:

Section 3 of what has become known as S.B. 1070 created a new state misdemeanor: willful failure to complete or carry an alien registration document.

Section 5(C) also created a misdemeanor penalty for an illegal alien to apply for, solicit or perform work as an employee or independent contractor.

Section 6 authorized a state officer to make a warrantless arrest if the officer has probable cause to believe the person had committed a removable offense.

The majority held that Section 2(B) was not preempted?at least not until there has been experience with its application. Under that section, state officers are to make a "reasonable attempt" to determine the immigration status of any person they stop, detain or arrest on some other legitimate basis if reasonable suspicion exists that the person is unlawfully in the country. Anyone who is arrested also must have his or her immigration status determined before being released.

"There is a basic uncertainty about what the law means and how it will be enforced," wrote Kennedy. "At this stage, without the benefit of a definitive interpretation from the state courts, it would be inappropriate to assume Section 2(B) will be construed in a way that creates a conflict with federal law."

After Kennedy summarized the decision from the bench this morning, Justice Antonin Scalia delivered a lengthy summary of his dissent in which he used as evidence of the majority's error the Obama Administration's recent decision to allow the children of illegal aliens to remain temporarily in this country.

"The President said at a news conference that the new program is `the right thing to do' in light of Congress' failure to pass the Administration's proposed revision of the Immigration act," wrote Scalia. "Perhaps it is, though Arizona may not think so. But, to say, as the Court does, that Arizona contradicts federal law by enforcing applications of the immigration Act that the President declines to enforce boggles the mind."
