Rajasthan gets its first female Qazi
Jaipur-based Jahan Ara on Friday became Rajasthan's first female Qazi after she completed a two-year training course in Mumbai's Darul Uloom-i-Nisawa. She can now officiate Islamic weddings, also called 'Nikah' among other religious services. Qazi Ara vowed to ensure that all women get their rights from the grassroot-level and that she is campaigning with the National Women Welfare Association.
