pretty amazing. you can now expect her family (and the other one) to be ostracized and hounded by the true believers. they will in effect be excommunicated, because kerala's increasingly affluent mohammedans are getting to be increasingly radicalized, not because they are oppressed in kerala -- far from it -- but because they are buying into saudi propaganda about conquering the whole world.
alas, prosperity for mohammedans leads to fundamentalization for them, rather than modernization and secularization (in the true sense of the term, not the indian sense of becoming anti-hindu).
to be a cynic, of course, given folks like e ahamed, this whole thing might well also be an exercise in al-taqiyah, where they are exercising plausible deniability, which saves their skins and makes great copy for the ELM.

Nizhal Yoddha, I am surprised you could be so naive! My take is that he parents who have "denounced" their sons have done so to escape the close attention of investigative agencies, and earn the sympathy of the local population, who might still be predominantly Hindu. It would not be surprising if the parents were fully aware of what the sons were doing, and fully approved and supoorted it.
I heard an interesting talk by Nayan Chanda about the origin of the word Mapillah (yes of Mopllah massacres fame)
Seems that the Malabar traders of old not only traded with the Arabs, but called them Mapillah (or son-in-law in Malayalam).
If true - this is one son-in-law that really screwed the house over. A huge case of buyer's remorse this!
witan, kannur is predominantly communist and mohammedan. the few hindus there are regularly murdered, usually by communists, and occasionally by mohammedans.
ghostwriter, the moplahs have a general reputation for being womanizers, that is, in pursuing hindu women while keeping their own women in purdah -- the usual mohammedan technique for increasing their population. interestingly enough, christists are also called 'mappilah' in kerala: 'pempilah' being the name for a female christist. there might be some historical element of both RoP and RoL guys seeking females as part of their demographic warfare tactics.
ghostwriter, just a clarification: the mohammedans of malabar are not mostly the result of arabs impregnating local women. they are mostly the products of tipu sultan's jihad. sabha.info has original newspaper reports from the time under their history pages. tipu converted large numbers of hindus by fire and sword; and this fine effort was supplemented by the 1921 moplah jihad (thank you, gandhi!) wherein a lot of hindus were raped, converted, or beheaded.
Nizhal,
Are Fatima Beevi and Vakkom Bashir also Moplah?
The Christian Mappillais are from the South right? Like the plantation and Achayan types. The Mammens and Mappillais of MRF, and Malayala Manorama
i believe fathima beevi is of tamil origin, but yes, vaikkom mohammed bashir is a moplah.
the christists were only in the south -- travancore's kottayam district -- initially. they then simply walked in and stole all the western ghats lands in northern kerala as well as southern kerala.
my conjecture is that both mohammedans and christists sought hindu females to convert and impregnate. thus the son-in-law business. bloody idiot hindus, of course, being tolerant, obliged.
in passing, it's interesting that in the famous book "chemmeen", the mohammedan lover-boy is referred to as a "fifth-veda" type. also i have heard mohammedans referred to as "bauddhas", which i guess implies the outsider status buddhists were reduced to after hinduism made its comeback after the counter-reformation of sankara and the bhakti saints.
