~42~ Marriages outside the community and their tragic results due to wrong use of the Internet and A few Ahmadi girls and ladies married non-Ahmadi men resulting from relationships that started on the Internet. However, within a short time frame such marriages failed and resulted in dangerous consequences of taking future generations away from Ahmadiyyat. Huzoor-e-Anwar warned Ahmadi ladies in this regard and said: “Today, there is the Internet. In the past, wherever a woman married a man who did not belong to the Jama’at, later wrote expressing regret and embarrassment that it was a mistake to marry men outside the Jama’at. Boys are more attached to the father and in particular to a non-Ahmadi father as they grant more freedom. Even if the girls maintain some connection with the Jama’at under the influence of the mother, the father insists on marrying them outside the Jama’at. Some girls raise their voice against their fathers. Some write that they should be helped as they do not want to marry outside the Jama’at. Others are forced into it. Thus, mothers and fathers should pay attention that there should be no contact established through the Internet. You should explain to them in a calm and loving manner. Those girls who have reached an age of maturity should understand the matter. Otherwise they should remember that they would be giving children, from the womb of Ahmadi mothers, to those outside the community. Why are you committing this injustice against yourself and your future generations?” • Address at Annual Ijtema Lajna Ima’illah UK 19 October 2003 Baitul Futuh Mosque, London • Published AlFazl International 17 April 2015 ****************
