Muslim woman in Tamil Nadu wins fight for daughter’s education
Express News Service

Rubinisha, 16-year-old daughter of Nawabjan and Fathima Jegara, had cleared Plus-II with high marks and wanted to join electronics and communication engineering. However, the conservative Nawabjan refused permission to send her away from home even for studies. Finally, after intense persuasion from his wife, Nawabjan ceded to admit her to an arts and science college—run by his friend—for pursuing BSc Maths. But the situation changed when Rubinisha secured a seat under Government quota at an engineering college in Pudukkottai district.

Nawabjan again refused to give permission to her to join the professional college saying it was away from home. He also instructed the college authorities not to release the original certificates that Rubinisha had submitted at the time of admission. The provisional admission granted to her in the engineering college had clearly stipulated that she should submit all her certificates in original by August 18.
