I , for a moment, thought of posting this under "Have fun!" category because it is really funny. Morons think that Sania decided to ditch her childhood sweet heart without enjoying sex with Shoaib. Further, these guys do not have problem if a guy has four wives after marriage but its big taboo if a couple stays togather before "marriage". Again , these guys will never think beyond 14th century morals and ideas.

Hyderabad: Tennis star Sania Mirza's marriage with Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik has sparked another row with some religious scholars issuing a 'fatwa' or religious edict against their living and mingling freely even before the marriage is solemnised.
Sunni Ulema Board, a group of religious scholars, said both the sportspersons were bringing disrepute to Islam and Muslim community through their actions.
The board issued a 'fatwa' terming their actions 'haram' (forbidden) and asked Muslims to stay away from the April 15 marriage.
"The kind of actions the two are indulging in like living together and addressing media together are 'haram' in Islam," said Moulana Haseebul Hasan Siddiqui, a religious scholar.
Shoaib has been staying at Sania's residence here for more than a week and television pictures showed them dancing and doing physical exercises together.
"Islam permits a man and woman to see each other only once before marriage and it does not allow them to live together and indulge in this sort of activities before marriage," he said.
He felt that all the actions of Sania and Shoaib were bringing a bad name to Islam and the Muslim community and advised invitees to stay away from their marriage as men and women would mingle freely there in total disregard of Islamic principles.
"Muslims should stay away from such gatherings where men and women mingle freely in violation of Islamic principles," he said.
The religious scholar had also issued a 'fatwa' against Sania Mirza for favouring pre-marital sex three years ago. He had opined that Sania committed a big sin by promoting 'zina' (fornication). The tennis ace, however, denied making the remarks.
Shoaib has already come under criticism from clergy for denying marriage with Ayesha Siddiqui even after admitting that he signed the 'nikahnama'. The Pakistani star last week divorced Ayesha after the latter filed a case of cheating against him.

I think these are allegations without proof. Shoaib is staying in Sania's house doesn't mean they are sleeping together. Anyway they pre-poned their marriage and got married yesterday:

As per recent ruling by Indian SC, premarital relationship are perfectly legal. I believe this law applies to every Indian citizen, irrespective of their religion.

And what kind of physical exercises were these?
Fatwas are not valid for the Mirza's. The Mirza family has broken whatever the Muslim rules are. They preponed the Nikah by hoodwinking others. They knew the Fatwa was coming (they were tipped on this). Mehendi and dances are today after the Nikah. Imran Mirza is a shrewd manipulator. Mirza's have good copnnections in the city and can bend any rules to their liking. IMO, they were desperate to get her off from the city.
