a good start!

A good step indeed by the ulemas to bring some change in society towards transgenders.

thanks finally counting them among humans! but , still they need education, the basic right

There is again some discrepancy in the Fatwa. Why a transgender having a visible sign of both genders (Hansa Mushkil) can not marry?. This is great injustice with him. I think he is the luckiest person. He can opt to marry a person of either gender. The Fatwa may be reviewed and the lacuna removed accordingly. Similarly, in inheritance, such a transgender be given share on the basis of a formula which is: (share of male + share of female) divided by 2.

I see hope!

Step in right direction. Thats tolerant Islam. Thank you.

Appreciated.........

I didn't get it. when a person possess visible signe of being a female than that person is a female. and that female can marry a man. so what's new that I havnt understood. it's confusing ey

Really Great to read this news,, These People are the Most Neglected in Entire world and are bullied and shamed everywhere, We must never forget, that a Person is Person no matter what Race, Color, or Gender he is.

@Roy thats the responsibility of State. The Ulema can only tell what Islam has allowed or not. Then its responsibility of state

Great and lntelligent Fatwa. We human beings are the sons and daughters of Adam and Eve. We should marry and have children to propagate the human race.

Well-done :)

really happy for them

Awesome, looking forward to visiting a transgender weddings after Eid.

A welcome move. A good sign of our societial changing.

Man or woman rather may be imperfect but it's not upto thee to judge or deprive them of their God given rights. That's the fundamentals of early Islamic tradition that dealt with such issues as transgendered people.

@Shah "Thats tolerant Islam" No that is Islam

Basic human rights upheld.

This is a very humane move by the clerics. In this instance one must say that the religious authorities are more progressive than the legal system/government. This ruling is welcome as there are millions of people in Pakistan who are affected by discrimination. With support of society, more and more such people will come out open and not have to hide their gender any more.

There is a lot of talk abt transgenders in Pakistan what is their population

Appreciated

First time, I respect these clerics.

Awesome! :)

No wonder they are little known... hope this word spreads and at least people should realise that they are also equal human beings...

But th question is who will mary them? Who will accept them? Giving them rights is one thing, accepting them is a major challenge. The entire society needs to be educated.

Good moeve..

Good job....Now we as society should also respect them as human beings and also support and guide these people with different/special attribute..

Peace

A step towards light from dark ages

Finally clerics invoking some real wisdom and practical use from sharia.

Humans give birth Humans. Discriminating them is a crime against humanity. Their rights must be respected. Great step.

This ruling has been around for centuries. People have not read about it and have not followed it.

@Ayub: You need to update your knowledge. Either you are too young to understand the complications or may be unmarried. The fatwa given bears some basic needs of human being, transgender having both signs of male & female are not good for marriage, it becomes a gay relationship which is very strictly prohibited in Islam.

It is the duty of the government and the parliament to decide and fix the rules that guide the people in their lives, and the different clercs have nothing to say here.

Finally the sense prevail in our society, this is a good start folks really happy

Good to read this news.

This shows that our clerics have started thinking about social issues rather than thinking about holy war.

In other countries, laws are made by the government and judged by the courts.

Superb move! Keep going on.

that's a right step towards tolerant Pakistan.

Step in the right direction....I hope it is properly implemented, followed and respected by the rest of the society.

Great job!!!

@Xyz "There is a lot of talk abt transgenders in Pakistan what is their population"

It runs into several millions, and with support from the society many more millions will open up.

I appreciate this act, such a wonderful news for transgenders, they won't be feeling odd anymore. Better than homo sexual policies of english countries.

I can't understand what man or female will get after marrying transgenders ...neither they have fertility to become father neither they can get pregnant ...so what is the motive behind ??

They understand what is transgender ?

@Frankenstein Ulema have told what is right in Islam by issuing fatwa so now it is the responsibility of state to legalize transgender surgeries so that they can conform to their desired body gender which will match with the brain gender. State should also give them all basic rights which straight people have.
