Enactment to ban Triple Talaq is interference in Shariat: Secretary of AIMPLB

Hyderabad: Secretary of All India Muslim Personal Law Board and its spokesperson, Maulana Khalid Saifullah Rehmani told that the attempts of Govt. of India to enact a law banning triple talaq are interference in Islamic Shariat. It is a religious issue. When divorce is pronounced, the woman becomes illegal for the husband. Enactment on Triple Talaq makes a provision for the divorced women to live with their former husbands. It is an act which is sinful and equivalent to adultery.

He further told that according to Article 25 of Constitution of India, every citizen is free to profess his religion. Those who framed the Constitution kept it under the fundamental rights. The proposed step which Govt. of India intends to take is a conspiracy to deprive Muslims of their fundament rights.

No doubt, pronouncing triple talaq at a time is an unpleasant act in the light of Islamic Shariat and it is its misuse but the enactment to cancel Triple Talaq is inappropriate.

There is a provision in the Constitution to impose emergency. This provision was misused while declaring it in 1976 which resulted in the loss of power to the ruling party and provided an opportunity for the opposition party to come to power.

The opposition parties although condemned emergency but they retained it. Under this clause, Central Govt. can dismiss State Govt.

Since there is a provision for pronouncing Triple Talaq and Muslim women have no objection to it, it is not appropriate for Govt. of India to impose a ban on it.

Muslim Personal Law Board is also making an attempt to stop its misuse. It is campaigning throughout India to create awareness for not using Triple Talaq provision. If Govt. of India is sincere, it should consult the Board and make an attempt to resolve the issues of the divorced women. If such an enactment is made, it will create difficulties for women. If Govt. tries to enact a law, every attempt would be made to stop it and it will also be challenged in the court of law.
