Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Triple talaq: India criminalises Muslim ‘instant divorce’
What is Triple talaq? It is a prevalent practice among India’s Muslim community that allows a Muslim man to divorce his wife by simply saying, texting or writing “talaq” three times even though such practice is uncommon among Muslims in other countries. In fact, most of the Islamic schools of thought prefer the divorce process to be deferred for reconsideration or reconciliation over a period of three months. Though the practice was declared unconstitutional by the nation’s supreme court in 2017, it took two years for the parliament to ban the practice by law because of oppositions from non-ruling parties. Some of such opponents say the practice was already outlawed by the court and others claim that laws shouldn’t regulate domestic issues like this.
If such inequality still exists, politicians and the government officials in India have a lot to do to bring the soon-to-be most populous nation up to speed with other advanced countries not only in technology or GDP but in human rights and hygiene.
Enjoy reading the article and think what should be prioritized in democracy.
