Muslim women can now go for Haj without male guardian: PM Narendra Modi

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said his government had removed a discriminatory practice where Muslim women were allowed to travel for Haj only in the company of a 'mahram' or male guardian.

 

Wondering how such "injustice" was being rendered to Muslim women for decades, Modi said, "Our ministry of minority affairs issued corrective measures and we ameliorated this restriction by phasing out a tradition that had been in practice for the past 70 years."
