Ummmm a seed grows into a new plant (read organism). Therefore, biologically speaking the seed (zygote) is formed when the sperm fertilizes the ovum. Male sperm is useless (maybe that’s why so much of it is produced) without an ovum to fertilize. This is why people should take biology classes before having children (or writing laws that impact inheritance).
Keep writing though

‘Tis the *seed*, my dear boy, the *seed* that they go on and on and on and on and bloody on about, and has me wishing they’d choke on one. Okay, time to put my civil face on again.

As a non-practicing atheist Parsi male I am very confused by this stupid argument. It is unfair and sexist. As a practicing scientist, it makes no logical sense. If I had to determine lineage, a matrilineal line makes more sense because you ALWAYS know who the mother is in a natural birth (I am excluding more recent technology). There is no guarantee that a child born of a Parsi man and a “parjaat” woman has Parsi genes while a child born of a Parsi woman definitely carries Parsi genes (this is assuming that Parsi genes are very different from those belonging to other people, a very tenuous argument). @Childwoman: Most people (especially Parsis) forget that the non-conversion rule came from the king of Gujarat when we arrived in India. Zorastrians happily converted people in Persia.
@Mysoul: They do not understand biology
Further, I believe that being a Parsi is a state of mind and an attitude. I am an atheist and do not indulge in religious ritual but am proud to be Parsi (except when these stupid laws raise their ugly head).

I am married to a Hindu and while doing Jashan my wife is not allowed to sit. This time I want her to be a part of it. So I am searching mobets who would do the same for me.

No it’s not exactly the same in Islam… the women can marry any guy who is a Muslim regardless of race colour creed nationality…but not religion (the guy HAS to convert)…even in the case of men …they can marry Christians and Jews but only if there is a chance that the women wil convert too…
