The Narendra Modi led NDAGovernment on Friday Oct 07,2016 unequivocally opposed the
concept of ‘Triple Talaq’ as something which violates the fundamental
rights as enshrined in the Constitution and said it did not form a part
of the “essential religious practices” in Islam.
In a 28-page letter to the Supreme Court, which is its response to the affidavit submitted by the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB), the government said it was time that personal laws are relooked in the light of gender justice & dignity of women.
The AIMPLB hearing and the Centre’s deposition comes in petition filed by Shayara Bano from Uttarakhand who had challenged Triple Talaq, polygamy and Nikah Halala as unconstitutional.
“I am very pleased with the government’s affidavit in SC today. This has a message for politicians who are refusing to speak up for women’s rights in the name of “not meddling in religious laws,” Shayara Bano told
Shayara Bano, a sociology post graduate and a mother of two, moved to the Supreme Court, saying the practice of triple talaq and polygamy under Muslim personal laws were “illegal and unconstitutional."
