Milestones

Intercommunity marriages registered both at the Old Customs House and at the MHADA office in Bandra (East) in 2002 (January to December) are published herein. However, names that could not be confirmed as Zoroastrian have been omitted from the list.

Fifty-six intercommunity plus seven civil marriages were registered at the Old Customs House whereas the MHADA office registered 39 interfaith unions and three civil nuptials.

Twenty-six Zoroastrians chose to be cremated in 2002 as the Chandanwadi crematorium register revealed.

The age of Zoroastrian brides (as listed in this issue) ranged between 20 and 34 years, the arithmetic mean — the total number of individual ages divided by the total number of brides — being 26 years. The corresponding figures for the grooms were 26 and 36 years, averaging at 30 years.

Births in April numbered six (as per the data from two hospitals) versus 79 deaths. Sixteen of the 29 victims who fell prey to the major killer (heart disease) were octogenarians and nonagenarians. Pneumonia/lung disease claimed nine lives, whereas six Zoroastrians each succumbed to cancer and old age/general debility. Brain disease took a toll of five patients, diabetes and hypertension, three patients each and liver disease and septicemia, two each. The isolated cases were: gastro-intestinal bleed, fracture, atherosclerosis (deposition of fatty substances in the arteries), sepsis, hydrocephalus (an excessive of cerebrospinal fluid inside the skull), multi-organ failure, embolism (obstruction of a blood vessel by the impaction of a solid body), thyroid and pyrexia (elevation of the body temperature above normal). A 37-year-old female, who died in childbirth after delivering a stillborn baby boy and a 38-year-old crippled and bedridden invalid male were also lost to the community. The coroner’s report was still awaited in the case of a 25-year-old youth, the youngest to breathe his last in April. Ninety-five was the eldest age at death. The Zoroastrian life expectancy at birth for April, in Bombay, was 75 years.

The data on births, marriages and deaths has been compiled from information supplied by various newsletters and anju-mans in India and abroad, courts and hospitals. This information is not always complete or consistent: we are unable to carry data from areas where the anju-mans do not furnish the particulars; the birth figures for Bombay are supplied by two hospitals — births in suburban hospitals and private nursing homes are not included unless individuals send us information together with a copy of the birth certificate. There may be an inadvertent repetition of names in the marriage list when a civil marriage precedes a religious ceremony. In the breakup of deaths according to illnesses, especially of the elderly, death is often due to a combination of several diseases.

If readers have any births/marriages/deaths they would like published, some proof to ensure the veracity of the report would be required. We are sure our readers would appreciate this requirement and cooperate with us.
