DAULATDIA, Bangladesh: Often treated as less than human in life, there has been little dignity in death for the sex workers of one of the world's biggest brothels: their bodies frequently tossed into unmarked graves or dumped in the river. On Thursday, Hamida Begum became the first sex worker from Bangladesh bordello Daulatdia to receive a formal Islamic funeral, breaking a longstanding taboo in Muslim majority Bangladesh where prostitution is legal but regarded by many as immoral. Scores of women gathered at the graveside, weeping for the year-old's passing but also because of the symbolic breakthrough her burial represented. Islamic spiritual leaders have for decades rejected funeral prayers for sex workers because they view prostitution as immoral. When Begum died, her family planned to put her in an unmarked grave -- standard practice for women like her -- but a coalition of sex workers persuaded the local police to talk religious leaders into giving her a proper burial.

This week's burial has been met with praise by human rights activists. Hamida Begum, who died earlier this week, may be the first sex worker to receive a proper Islamic funeral. The year-old was given a Janaza funeral prayer by an imam after local police intervened to ensure a proper burial. Bangladesh is one of the very few Islamic nations to legalize prostitution. But bodies of sex workers are often buried in unnamed graves, or their bodies are dumped. Due to the social stigma, religious heads such as imams usually shy away from performing funeral rites for sex workers.
Sex workers finally get 'honourable' funerals in Bangladesh
He should tell her that he will never convert, and that if she will not be happy unless he does, the relationship should end. Make sure she knows the plan, so you both can dress appropriately. I'm so comforted by this thread. I really hadn't considered a lot of the points people have brought up. Marry a person based on his character, not his religion. We have a strong relationship, so I am lucky - but lately the demands of family are becoming a bit too much to handle - and I really don't know how to 'deal' with my inlaws and 'sharing' my husband with them. Say goodbye to all that. I love my husband so much, but 40 years of loneliness has been more than difficult. You have to make the decision as to what you want your home and your children to have in that home.
The first time, the shrink said, "It is very common for a woman to divorce so their children WILL see their father more. Now look at the flip side в if he loves you, and realizes you fully believe, how will he deal with the importance of the temple to you. I don't think I could let that happen. Good luck and my prayers are with you.
