In a bizarre argument to defend the practice of triple talaq in one go, the All India Muslim Personal Law Board — or AIMPLB — said on Friday, “It’s better to divorce a woman than kill her.”
This particular logic authenticates all the arguments used by opponents of Islam that it is a religion
that subjugates women.
The AIMPLB further argued that the Sharia grants the right to divorce to men because they have greater power of decision-making and because they are less emotional. Again, the board’s argument asserts that women are inferior to men and are incapable of making rational decisions.
In fact, the board validates all those Islamophobes who denounce Islam for exploiting and ill-treating women as inferior to men.
The AIMPLB’s arguments have done the biggest disservice to Islam.
