Exclusive: Triple Talaq Must Go From India Too, Says Shabana Azmi

More than 20 Muslim countries have banned triple talaq, it needs to go from India too, opines Shabana Azmi.

The fight against triple talaq has been waged by very brave Muslim women - largely Bhartiya Muslim Mahila Andolan. They have single handedly brought the issue centre stage. Triple talaq in one go does not have sanction in the Quran and is anti-women. More than 20 Muslim countries have banned it and it must go from India too.

Let’s not forget that it was Muslim women who have worked over the years mobilising the community against triple talaq because it is unjust and anti-women. AIMPLB’s call for boycotting abusers of triple talaq is not even a fig leaf because triple talaq in itself is an abuse!
