Controversy

The short tennis clothes she has to wear in the court has drawn some criticism by Muslim religious groups, Mirza being a practicing Muslim who prays five times a day, and fasts during Ramzan.³ According to one report published September 8, 2005, an unnamed Muslim scholar had issued a ruling, saying that the women's tennis attire is not suited to Islam.⁸ The All-India Shia Muslim Personal Law Board disapproved the edict issued by the anonymous cleric(s) and asked them not to meddle in [the] sports arena.^{citation needed} Jamiat-ulema-e-Hind rejected rumors about disrupting her game saying that they don't stop anyone from playing, although they found female tennis players' dress code objectionable. Nevertheless, the Calcutta police tightened security measures to protect her.⁹

After Mirza spoke at a conference on safe sex in November 2005, some groups said "she is detached from Islam" and that she is a "corrupting influence on the youth." Mirza clarified her stance by saying that she was opposed to pre-marital sex.¹⁰

In 2006, some newspapers reported that Mirza declined from playing with an Israeli tennis player Shahar Pe'er for fear of protests from India's Muslim community.¹⁰ However, when she teamed up with Pe'er for the 2007 WTA Tour of Stanford, California, there was no reaction.

Mirza was pictured resting her feet and showing her bare soles during a press conference at the 2008 Hopman Cup, with an Indian flag in front.¹¹ She faced possible prosecution under the Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act after a private citizen complained. Mirza protested that, "I love my country, I wouldn't be playing Hopman Cup otherwise."

On February 4, 2008, Mirza said that she would stop appearing in tennis tournaments held in India, starting with the 2008 Bangalore Open the following month, citing the series of controversies and upon advice by her manager.¹²

Personal life

Sania Mirza was engaged in July 2009 to Sohrab Mirza, a business man from Hyderabad whom she knew from her school days.¹³¹⁴¹⁵

On January 28th, 2010, it was announced that the Mirza family had called off the engagement. The decision was reported to be mutual, with Mirza citing "incompatibility" as the reason for the split. Mirza's father Imran Mirza claimed that the couple as well as their respective families continue to remain on good terms. ¹⁶¹⁷¹⁸
