Hyderabad: Muslim women are caught in a fix after the Triple Talaq bill 2017 said Prof Jameelunnisa member of All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB). She was speaking at the special discourse on Triple Talaq bill 2017 organised by Shariah Committee for Women-Hyderabad here on Wednesday.
Dr Asma Zehra, president women's wing AIMPLB, explained, “There was no need to bring in a bill after the Supreme Court Judgement dated August 22, 2017. There was false propaganda that the Supreme Court had directed to frame a law based on the directive of two judges.” Asma said, the bill was supposed to help women but it will only make their lives more difficult. A majority of the community is poor and women are left stranded without any help after a divorce.
There were references that Muslims countries have banned Triple Talaq which is untrue said a participant. She added, “Under the bill, even a neighbour can file a complaint. It can be misused. The guardianship and custody of children in this bill is given to the mother. When she herself is having no one to take care of her, how can she maintain the children? It is against the Guards & Parents Act. About 500 ladies, intellectuals, teachers, doctors and professionals attended the seminar.
