PROLONGED FIGHT FOR MUSLIM WOMEN: TRIPLE TALAQ
Downloads
Abstract
Imagine living with the mental insecurity that your marriage could end anytime at the husband’s whim simply by the utterance of three words “Talaq, Talaq, Talaq”. That’s the thought a Muslim Woman has to live with through her married life. Instantaneous Triple Talaq or Talaq-ul-bidat is one of the eight ways to divorce in Islam. However, unlike popularly known in India, this form of irrevocable talaq is not Quranic but a post-prophet innovation of Umayyad Oligarchs in second century of the Hijri era – approved by the jurists of Hanafi Law as Islamic Law differs from community to community.i
It may be true to say that not a high population of women are directly and actually affected by practices such as divorce by talaq-e-bidat or being in a polygamous marriage, the fact still remains that every woman to whom the Sharia law applies, lives under the threat, fear or prospect of being subject to such practices, which in turn heavily impact her status and her right to a life with confidence and dignity.
