Prisoner asks for temporary bail to satisfy his wife

A criminal condemned for organizing pogroms on religious ground has put the Indian justice administration in a tricky situation. In a long letter to the city court, Akhmadabada Firozkhan Zafarkhan asked to be released from prison for a 30-day stay at home - in order to fulfill his conjugal obligations. He based his deep depression, which also affects his wife while they are separated, on the urgent need for intimacy. "The laws of Islam forbid us to enter into a sexual relationship with someone else, so understand me and release me for a month to see my wife," Firozkhan begged the court.
