Following the recent ideas of Dryzek, Kato, Muñoz and Singleton \citeR1 (henceforth we call this paper as R1), that the composite system consisting of an electron along with its screened electric field and within the sphere of influence, the trapped magnetic field of white dwarf can behave like a boson, we have argued that such an exotic transition (bosonization) of electronic component in strongly magnetized neutron star matter in β-equilibrium can make the existence of magnetars physically viable.
