A section of Muslims in India are in a state of denial. Afterthe famous Mufti of Dar al Ulum Deoband refused to see the difference betweenrape and marriage and pronounced that rape of Imrana Ilahi annuls her marriage,it was time for some Indian Muslims to announce that no rape happened at all. Itwas all a media creation to malign the image of Islam and Muslims. A Muslim manafter all cannot rape; such things do not happen in Muslim society. And if atall such a thing happened, it must be the women’s fault since she is theeternal temptress. ‘Rape’ cannot take place without the consent ofwomen.
