The article is excellent, congrat Mr. Shenoy. There is nothing really to add on to the article, but i would like to put a rejoinder as to why the maulvi's are being criticised.
There are several issues other than a girl wearing skirt after knowingly killing her conscience as we all do in different ways to accustom ourselves to the modern age. The first thing that comes to mind is the Illegal and "Haram" marriages that happen in the ghettos of Hyderabad. Where sheikhs come and "marry" of sisters ( aged 13 and 14) for 1 night(sic*) for Rs. 20000. These marriages are solemnised by maulvis from the same school from where this fatwa was given. I have never heard of even a whimper about this social malaise.
Maybe some concerned mufti's do give fatwa's against it and the media doesnt give much publicity. But isnt it the responsibility of the Muftis to make sure that their opinions(fatwas) are heard across the community and taken seriously as it is done for cases like Imrana, Sania etc....
