New Delhi, Mar 31: A high-level committee set up by the Central government to review the status of women in India has reportedly recommended a ban on the practice of oral, unilateral and triple talaq (divorce) and polygamy - a demand already made by a majority of Indian Muslim women.
As per a report published in the leading daily The Indian Express, the assessment of family laws governing Muslim community members is part of a voluminous report submitted last year by the panel appointed by the previous Congress-led UPA government.
However, the recommendations of the panel have not been made public as yet.
The Supreme Court, while responding to a plea on the divorce norms, had on Monday directed the Centre to produce the report within six weeks.
The plea was filed by a Muslim woman hailing from Uttarakhand against her triple talaq.
The recommendations of the panel supports the demand for the ban on the grounds that such talaq renders “wives extremely vulnerable and insecure regarding their marital status”.
The panel, in its report, has recommended specific amendments to the Dissolution of Muslim Marriages Act 1939 coupled with suggestions for introducing provisions to provide interim maintenance.
The report states that payment of maintenance to the wife and children must be made mandatory in the event of separation or divorce.
The landmark ruling of the Supreme Court in 1985 in the Shah Bano case recognised the Muslim woman's right to maintenance, but was never actually codified in the Muslim personal law.
The report further states that ''all judges should be made aware of the manner in which the SC has interpreted the Muslim Law and has safeguarded the rights of Muslim women.”
The 14-member committee, which was constituted by the Ministry of Woman and Child Development under the UPA government in February 2012, was reconstituted in May 2013.
It was headed by Pam Rajput, founder director of Centre for Women's Studies, Punjab University.
Last year, a survey conducted by the Bharatiya Muslim Mahila Andolan (BMMA) claimed that 92.1 percent Indian Muslim women want oral, triple talaq to be banned.
Apr 23: An FIR has been registered in Nagpur against Republic TV channel's editor Arnab Goswami for promoting social disharmony and accusing Congress President Sonia Gandhi of orchestrating the Palghar lynching.

Rasheeda can wear bikini in summer season it's best for you, like uncovered chocolate
In Islam TALAK(divorce) is not easy way. For Talak(divorce) should be pass from 3 stage. that's called 3 TALAK.
Some Muslims and Non Muslims thinking that, one who telling at a time 3 TALAK, TALAK is over. It is again shariya(LAW) and they donot fear Allah(s).
Muslim cannot give TALAK for simple issue. Allah(s) will punish those who are giving TALAK for simple issue and those who not follow correct way of TALAK.
Islam gives ways for couple who couldn't get together...In certain religion there is no such concept of divorce once they are married there is no way of separating till death ...In Islam talaq or divorce is discouraged...If the couple can't get together then it provide means to seperate through talaq...If once talaq is said it doesn't end in divorce in between there is way to reconcile,couples should try to keep aside their differences..Only if scuffle further continues then it is better way to get divorced rather than ending in violence..There is nothing called 3 talaqs in single setting..It is against the concept of talaq..There are people who misuse it..There is talaq and waiting time
For women there is concept of khula if the men doesn't look his wife well she can divorce him through Khula...
For those who comment with pseudoname on burkhah...Burkhah is not recommended...Islam only says cover your hair and body and be modest...If someone is unhappy they can go in khujrao style we are not forcing them..For men too there is hijab..I.e from top of navel till knee..Body of men and women are not the same.......Most of our women wear burkhah willfully..Not like a man forcing women and tying tali on her neck..which she has to carry the burden till her death
BCH & MCH .... Krishna polygamy? Venkatesha polygamy? I also polygamy. So what turkanna. Anything I am readyMCH. Rule must be same for all human beings.Every one who sticks to one God are fanatic MCH. so shut up.
Dear avinash, Your comments shows how ignorant you are. Please think and analyze. Hizab is required in public places not at home. This is for security and modesty of the women. Actually she is not suffering , the person who want to see her beauty or nudity is suffering. Please check the diffrence between the women who wear hijab and other with sari. In sari you can figure out everything about that women which usually men like you want. This is weakness of all the men.
Hijab also treats all the women at par. You can not differentiate her as white/ Black, rich or poor, what she wear costly one or cheaper one? I think hijab should applied for all the women irrespective of religion for the safety and modesty of the women.
Regarding Talaq & polygamy , We know , sometimes uncultured people misused and endangered to the life of muslim women .. but compared to misuse of human laws or any national laws , is misused very less ... even complaints by muslim women also very rare except some modern women by the influence any particular vested interests....
In a civil country , if anybody misused law , actions to be taken against them , banning it is not the solution...
Burkha , Hijab are the modest dress to pious people .. there is no compulsion to wear it , if you doesn't like , you may find , a lot muslims , who do not wear burkha or hijab... questioning others rights to wear is like..... I am prostitute ... demand for others also same....!
Now a days there is season of challenge done on Islamic rules ....
Good for NON MUSLIMS ... (Other wise there are some honest non muslims who are EAGER to know about the CREATOR, if such thing doesnt happen they will never know who is their TRUE creator)
Despite several reminders from Muslim leaders which they also quote from various religious scriptures that GOD is one and Worship him ALONE...
People are still not waking up for the message of ONE GOD. who created them and all that exists..
Now There are few leaders who challenge the GOD's law...
& We MUSLIMs expect that cos Prophet Muhammad pbuh said a Time will come when people dont know who is their CREATOR. and there will be many followers who will follow BLINDLY (Without even pondering HOW they Got this LIFE, What is the purpose of LIFE and living a life of UNAWARE)>>> It is happening infront of our EYES in the present age..
If we study sharia law.. We will never complaint on its wisdom.. But When the ignorant leaders make bow bow many who doesnt know or read about sharia law are all clapping the hand and queing up to jump in DARKNESS>>>
Study SHARIA LAW and know who is the CREATOR.
Know one thing GOD is most merciful... He gave many chances to Pharoah, the most evil person who tortured the people of MOOSA Pbuh during his time... We should read about his END
We should escape the END result... which will show the real MARKS whether you Passed or NOT.
Know the rule of the CREATOR and STop your following BLINDLY
Hmm.. Not Surprising, the Central Govt. Panel (moderated by VHP ) is keen on enforcing a law like this.
Dear Sanghis, remember the song in kannada - \ Naari ya Seere kadda, Radheya Manava Gedda, Kallara Kalla KRISHNANU..\" :-D
And they want ban on polygamy..What irony !!
With regards to muslim women asking for such law, we muslims wouldn't really have much of problem if the Govt. brings such law. We understand these women, as some men tend to take unfair advantage of the given Shariah Law. Infact, this law banning such Talaq, and polygamy, will make us more responsible of our community and discipline us.
Banning hijab, hmm don't even think of it. If these women don't want to wear, let them not be forced. and let them
also not enforce their thoughts on other women who want to wear Burkha/Hijab etc...
BTW, Can sanghis help me in identifying the names of these models in the architecture of Khujarao , Belur temples..."
Comment by so called Rasheeda looks doubtfull name. First of all there is no compulsion in islam. Any one need to follow the shariah of allah can follow ,if you need to follow satan you can do that. But always make the better choice for yourself. Choose paradise instead of hell, hell fire is much more more hotter than this worlds peak summer.
Make Islamic law a Indian law so that it will become uniform law. Since Hindus or Christians do not have any religious laws there should not be any problem for them to follow Islamic law. Hope Govt of India make Sharia law applicable to all Indian citizens. Please note Criminal Law is already applicable equally irrespective of their religion & Muslims do not have problem with that. 1400 years of research has been done on Islamic sharia law and is practical law unlike man made laws.
