50,000 Muslims sign petition to ban ‘un-Quranic’ practice of triple talaq

June 1, 2016

New Delhi, Jun 1: Over 50,000 Muslim women and men have signed a petition spearheaded by Bhartiya Muslim Mahila Andolan (BMMA) seeking a ban on triple talaq. The women have sought support to abolish the “heinous” practice, which they have termed as “un-Quranic”

talaq

The Bharatiya Muslim Mahila Andolan (BMMA) wrote to the National Commission for Women and sought its support to make the practice that “destroys the life of women” as illegal.

“We demand to end the practice of oral or unilateral divorce or triple talaq and we have collected 50,000 signatures from women and men for this,” the rights group said in their letter to Lalitha Kumaramanglam, Chairperson, National Commission for Women.

The group had found that women want “a legal ban on the practice of the heinous practice which destroys the life of many women and children”.

They had compiled case studies of women who have “suffered” the ordeal of triple talaq.

“We are bringing out the suffering and pain caused to women and children owing to this inhuman practice,” it added.

The co-founders, Noorjehan Safia Niaz and Zakia Soman of BMMA “strive for equal citizenship of Muslims as enshrined in the Constitution as well as for justice and equality for Muslim women based on the Quranic tenets”.

“The instant method of divorce has no mention in the Quran. In fact the Quranic method requires a 90 day process of dialogue, reconciliation and mediation before divorce takes place,” they said.

Talaq OR divorce is among all legal things it is the only very hatred thing to ALLAH the creator of all.
And it is the last option in Islam when it is the only method for both wife and husband if they can not continue their married relation.

Divorce is a 3step process. There has to be mediation of senior members of both the spouses. If they decide it is impossible to continue the married life, then the spouses can go for 1st Talaq.
Once the Talaq is pronounced, there is a time of iddat (waiting period). This period is the completion of menstrational period. Until the wife completely cleaned.
This is not ONE GO process.
For the third time only it completely comes into Talaq and separation is pronounced.

Both needs to consult the Religious scholars.
May Allah guide to understand the sanctity of married and family life and to fulfill our obligations

New Delhi, Mar 29: The battle against coronavirus is a tough one and it required harsh decisions to keep India safe, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his first Mann Ki Baat after the 21-day lockdown was imposed in the wake of COVID-19 outbreak.
"The battle against COVID-19 is a tough one and it did require such harsh decisions. It is important to keep the people of India safe. A disease must be dealt with at the very beginning as delay makes it incurable," said Prime Minister Modi.
He said that as the coronavirus has put the entire world in lockdown, so "India is doing the same."
"It is a challenge before everyone, science and knowledge, poor and rich, powerful and weak. It is neither restricted to a nation nor region or particular weather. This virus is bent upon killing human beings, eliminating them. Hence all of us, the entire humanity, must unite and resolve to eliminate it," he added.
Addressing the 63rd edition of his monthly radio programme 'Mann Ki Baat', the Prime Minister had sought forgiveness from all countrymen, and especially the poor, for the nationwide lockdown in the country in the view of the novel coronavirus.
During his address to the nation on March 24, the Prime Minister had announced a 21-day nationwide lockdown to contain the spread of the deadly virus.
