Copy of Fatimah Baygum's petition to Ayatollah Mirza Muhammad Husayn al-Najafi, 1926
Copy of a complaint petition from Fatimah Baygum to Ayatollah Mirza Muhammad Husayn al-Najafi regarding her brutal treatment at the hands of her husband, Haj Mirza Muhammad Sahib Anjavi. Fatimah Baygum claims that her husband has beaten her and thrown her and their children out of their house. She has sent the children to ask their father for permission to go back, but he refused every time. She next sent some acquaintances to her husband, but he never let her or the children return home. She finally sent this petition to Ayatollah Mirza Muhammad Husayn al-Najafi, requesting that he would read the affiants’ statements on this matter and then make a judgement. She also claims that her husband hasn’t paid for her or the children’s expenses during this time. In response, Muhammad Husayn al-Husayni al-Najafi al-Kaziruni has written that, based on the affidavits of many people and other evidence, Karbalayi Muhammad Javad, the children’s uncle, would pay for their expenses out of kindness and that they should demand all the costs from the husband mentioned, Mirza Muhammad.
