Bharatiya Muslim Mahila Andolan

The Supreme Court today banned the controversial practice of triple talaq that allows Muslim men to divorce their wives instantly by saying "talaq" thrice. A five-judge bench ruled that the practice of instant triple talaq is unconstitutional and against the teachings of Islam.

Asking the Haji Ali Dargah Trust to take a progressive stand on the issue of allowing women inside the famous Muslim shrine in Mumbai, the Supreme Court today agreed to extend the stay on a High Court order which lifted a 2012 ban on the entry of women. The court will now hear the matter on October 17.

Members of a women's rights group have sought the support of the National Commission for Women (NCW) to abolish the practice of 'triple talaq', terming it as an "un-Quranic" practice.

The government and the Supreme Court must weigh in on the side of the Muslim women. The Muslims Personal Law Board must be shown it place.

More than 90 per cent of Muslim women surveyed want the "triple talaq" divorce ritual and polygamy banned from family civil law in the country, a study by a women's rights organisation said on Friday.
