'Won't tolerate attempt to change Sharia law': Thousands of Muslim women protest Triple Talaq Bill

[jetray]

I am surprised that the slave mentality has been etched so deeply in their minds, that they are unwilling to get freedom themselves, they are actually protesting that they want to remain prisoners forever
surprising

I hope India succeeds in this endeavor and does not come under pressure

The Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) Application Act was passed on 7 October 1937 in British India to ensure that Indians following Islamic faith shall be ruled according to their cultural norms.[1] This Act gave strength to the pre-existing customary laws, although ---->it was in conflict with Islamic jurisprudence in several aspects<------.

First of all it was introduced by british in 1937 not independent India. Irony is that it in no way even complies with islamic sharia but only reinforces existing discriminatory cultural practices of the region against women. A good example is triple talaq which is nowhere followed as loosely as in India.

So called seculars and mullahs want to perpetually keep vote bank politics alive by raking up the issue. The muslim community improperly represented by a few rogues has worked hard to enact discriminatory laws to keep woman subjugated. The irony is that every act which is passed to discriminate is called a protection act!



Mohd. Ahmed Khan v. Shah Bano Begum (1985 SCR (3) 844), commonly referred to as the Shah Bano case, was a controversial maintenance lawsuit in India, in which the supreme court delivered a judgment favoring maintenance given to an aggrieved divorced Muslim woman. Then the Congress government, panicky in an election year, gave into the pressure of Muslim orthodoxy and enacted a law with its most controversial aspect being the right to maintenance for the period of iddat after the divorce, and shifting the onus of maintaining her to her relatives or the Wakf Board. It was seen as discriminatory as it denied right to basic maintenance available to non-Muslim women under secular law.[1]

Shah Bano, a 62-year-old Muslim mother of five from Indore, Madhya Pradesh, was divorced by her husband in 1978.[1] She filed a criminal suit in the Supreme Court of India, in which she won the right to alimony from her husband. However, the Muslim politicians mounted a campaign for the verdict's nullification. The Indian Parliament reversed the judgement under pressure from Islamic orthodoxy and The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act 1986

Replicate the Pakistani model here verbal talak has no legal value and steps are being taken to make it a criminal activity and Mullahs here actually back this move

so you might want to start removing the cancer now, no?

It will not pass in this session. Its impossible because its only the BJP who is supporting it.

By next year, if BJP get majority in the Rajya sabha, it can pass then.

I see, that is unfortunate

Thousands of Muslim women took to the streets in Jhunjhunu Tuesday to protest a draft law that proposes the abolition of instant triple talaq, or talaq-e-biddat.


The women said they wouldn't tolerate changes to Sharia law, a set of principles based on the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad, and accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government of interfering, and of hurting Muslims' sentiments.

Sympathy for Muslim women should translate into education schemes instead, they explained.

"Islamic Law is a law that has come from the sky and till today, we have not made any change in it, neither will we let it happen," said Shaukat Ali, a cleric.

Both women and men marched to the district collectorate in Jhunjhunu.

BILL STUCK IN PARLIAMENT

The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill, 2017 was tabled by Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad during the Winter Session of Parliament. It was passed in the Lok Sabha.

But the Rajya Sabha, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi's NDA government does not have a majority, has not approved the Bill, which proposes a three-yearsprison term for offenders.

The All India Muslim Personal Law Board, a top body of Muslim clerics, says there are several flaws in the "very wrong law."

But President Ram Nath Kovind has said a law against instant triple talaq can help Muslim women live a life "free of fear."
