SUPREME COURT IN INDIAN TO RULE ON END OF 'TRIPLE TALAQ' INSTANT DIVORCE.

Image result for india supreme court              Five of India's most senior judges have started a hearing which could end up being a watershed in the way Muslim men relate to their wives.Muslim men in India are allowed to divorce through ''triple talaq''-a custom that involves saying the word talaq three times in succession.The divorce is instant and unilateral.It can be done by text ,fax,email,Facebook or Whatsapp.The provocation can be trivial,such as putting on weight,greying or burning the dinner.Last month,the husband of national level netball champion,Shumayala Javed,divorced her by uttering talaq because she gave birth to a baby girl.The All India Muslim Personal Law Board,opposes the abolition of the instant divorce.In its petition to the Supreme Court,the Board argues that if Muslim men are denied triple talaq,they might murder their wives to get rid of them.Implying that triple talaq was good for women,the Board said that if a man had to face the hassle of time-consuming and expensive legal proceedigss to divorce hiss wife,''he may resort to illegal,criminal ways of murdering or burning her alive''.Though some Muslim religious figures have come out in support of a ban,saying triple talaq is an aberration and it is time for the Muslim community itself to start reform by issuing divorce guidelines that protect women's rights.
