1.Who is Parsi?[2]
Answer
The definition. Under section 2(7) of the Parsi Marriage and Divorce Act, 1936, a "Parsi" means a Parsi Zoroastrian.
Two elements.
- Zoroastrian by religion.
- A member of the Parsi community, the Zoroastrians who settled in India from Persia, and their descendants.
Religion alone is not enough. A convert to Zoroastrianism becomes a Zoroastrian, but not, by that alone, a Parsi.
The leading case. In Sir Dinshaw Manockji Petit v. Sir Jamsetji Jeejeebhoy (1908), converts to Zoroastrianism claimed a share in the Parsi community's charitable funds and institutions. The Bombay High Court refused their claim. It held that the community's ancient usage decided membership. The converts were not members for those purposes.
Why it matters.
- The Act applies only to a marriage between Parsis (section 2(6)).
- A Parsi marrying a non-Parsi must use the Special Marriage Act, 1954.
- A spouse who ceases to be a Parsi by conversion gives the other a ground for divorce (section 32(j)).
- Parsis have their own rules of intestate succession in the Indian Succession Act, 1925 (Chapter III of Part V).
Changing religion. A Parsi who converts is still bound by the bar on bigamy in section 4, which applies "whether such Parsi has changed his or her religion or domicile or not".
Example. Cyrus, born to Parsi parents and professing Zoroastrianism, is a Parsi. His foreign wife who converts to Zoroastrianism does not thereby become a Parsi.
