The women recited ‘Hanuman Chalisa’ 108 times, praying to “end this practice ruining the lives of Muslim women"
VARANASI: A day before the beginning of the hearing in triple talaq case by the Supreme Court on May 10, a group of Muslim women and activists of Muslim Mahila Foundation (MMF) had invoked Lord Hanuman at Patal Puri mutt in the city, praying to the deity to end this "social evil". They also recited 'Hanuman Chalisa' 108 times to appease the deity and "end this practice ruining the lives of Muslim women".

Glued to TV screen at Varuna Nagaram colony in Hukulganj area, the women were waiting eagerly for the court's decision. Soon after the SC's decision was aired, they distributed sweets and broke into celebrations by bursting crackers. They termed the decision revolutionary to save the dignity of women.
"We are happy that our prayers have been heard. Today is the day of freedom for Muslim women from the inhuman practice of triple talaq," said MMF president Nazneen Ansari, who has been spearheading the struggle since December 2013
We wholeheartedly welcome the court's decision and hope for early enactment of law," she said adding that the freedom from triple talaq is like liberation from inhuman slavery and darkness. The fight will continue till the enactment of law, she added.All women including Shabana Bano, Rizwana, Gudiya Quereshi, Najma Parvin hailed this decision.
