Fatwa issued against Sania Mirza

Described as a "corrupting influence" with "indecent" clothes, rising Indian tennis star Sania Mirza is the object of a fatwa issued by the Sunni Ulema Board, an Islamic group. Mirza's tennis skirts and cheeky off-court T-shirts have enraged conservative Islamists for some time. The tennis news media, already obsessed with Mirza's clothing, will now have no incentive to back off from talking about it.
