Mona, The Baha'i Children Moral Class Teacher
Tahirih Mona Gaur a Bahai from Mumbai, India was married to another
Bahai Siddharth Jiwnani settled in UK. After just four months of marriage Mona
left suddenly one day whilst Siddarath was at work and under very suspicious
circumstances and with no apparent reason. Subsequently, and reliably informed
that Tahirih had walked out of the marriage as she was engaged in plans to
marry another person (a supposed close friend). Siddarath then found secret
phone calls being made between her and this same person from the time she
arrived up to the moment she left
marital home in London and even calls made up to the moment of her
departure from London airport. Mona and her family then admitted that this
same male had already proposed to her during the year of patience and that she
had shown her true motivations by taking the proposal to her parents.
This short marriage was never given a chance of success due to
Mona’s conscious decision to enter into an extra marital relationship with a
known 3rd party male in Mumbai whilst being married to Siddarth. Mona has
been made to understand that any such relationship (whether it be physical or
emotional) is in complete breach of her marital vows and in complete contrast
to what she had undertaken, namely to remain faithful to her husband to
the exclusion of all others pursuant to the law.
The ABM and the counselor were all aware of the circumstances of Mona's
departure after only two months of marriage, the secret phone calls and of
course the proposal and parental consideration as she was present in the room
when these were discussed. She pronounced it herself during the meeting that a
'third voice has ruined the marriage'.
The Bahai officials, held a meeting on April 4 2010 and it was
established that Mona did had extra marital relationship was obviously the
critical factor in the breakdown of the marriage and the sole reason why Mona
did not respond to reconciliatory gestures. The Chairman of the Assembly of Mumbai
wrote to couple granting the year of patience in Dec 2009, and the 3rd party
had already proposed to her within 3 months of this? The Assembly called it as
a 'temperamental difference’. The Assembly failed to record the
crucial deceit element. It seems that all the evidence in the world and
all the Baha'i guidance may not be sufficient to extract some honesty from Mona
her Bahai ABMs and Counselor.
However, in light
of the open proposal of marriage and public continuation of their
relationship including circulating pictures of themselves together, their
future actions may well speak louder than their denying words.
Mona after her condemnation of Bahai laws openly and ruining the
life of another Baha’I was made a member of Regional Bahai council of Maharastra
where she is holding children Moral classes for Bahai and non Bahai children.
Only God knows what morals she must be inculcating in them .Indeed
Hypocrisy and Baha’I organization are twin sisters
"The question you raise as to the place in one's life that a
deep bond of love with someone we meet other than our husband or wife can have is easily defined in view
of the teachings ... after marriage absolutely faithful to one's chosen
companion. Faithful in all sexual acts, faithful in word and in
deed."
(From a letter written on
behalf of Shoghi Effendi, September 28, 1941: Messages from the Universal House
of Justice, 1968-1973, pp. 108-109)
