Triple talaq case: AIMPLB files affidavit in SC

Triple talaq case: AIMPLB files affidavit in SC

New Delhi, May 22 (UNI) After various petitioners approached the apex court seeking to strike down triple talaq, the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) today filed an affidavit in connection with the case. A five-judge Constitution bench, on May 18 had reserved its order on the constitutional validity of triple talaq. It had asked also to file all the parties to file their respective written submissions to the apex court. The AIMPLB, in its affidavit, said, it will issue an advisory through its website, publications and social media platforms and thereby advise the persons who perform ‘Nikah’ (marriage) to follow the two steps. At the time of performing ‘Nikah’ (marriage), the person performing the ‘Nikah’ will advise the Bridegroom/Man that in case of differences leading to Talaq the Bridegroom/Man shall not pronounce three divorces in one sitting since it is an undesirable practice in Shariat. And secondly, that at the time of performing the 'Nikah' (Marriage), the person performing the ‘Nikah’ will advise both the Bridegroom/Man and the Bride/Woman to incorporate a condition in the ‘Nikahnama’ to exclude resorting to pronouncement of three divorces by her husband in one sitting. The Supreme Court had consecutively heard on six days all the detailed arguments from various parties, including petitioners and respondents. Attorney General Mukul Rohtagi, representing the Central government, had told the five-judge Constitution bench, headed by Chief Justice of India Jagdish Singh Khehar, that if the apex court struck down triple talaq, then it will bring a new law. The main petitioner in the case was Shayra Bano. Others included Farha Faiz, Rizwana Khan and many more. Farha Faiz, one of the petitioners, had told the apex court that the triple talaq issue was very sensitive as it dealt with one's life. Triple talaq is not right from any angle. UNI XC RP1725
