Activists suggest changes to triple talaq law

The Hindu  

The Bhartiya Muslim Mahila Andolan that has been on the forefront of the battle against triple talaq is of a view that a range of changes are required in the Muslim Women Bill, 2017 that will be tabled at the Lok Sabha next week. The Bill, say BMMA members, lacks a holistic approach on gender justice and leaves aside the problems such as polygamy, age of marriage and ‘halala’. Violation of law through triple talaq should invite penalty and punishment accordingly and proportionately,” suggested the members. While the women activists are rooting for a more comprehensive Bill, The All India Muslim Personal Law Board has rejected the Bill on a whole stating that it should be withheld and withdrawn.
