Talaq delivered through Skype, WhatsApp and others means valid: AIMPLB

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

New Delhi:All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has strongly disapproved the Supreme Court's observation in which it called for examining the Islamic law to do away with discriminations against Muslim women.

Speaking to India TV, senior member and spokesperson of the board, Mohammed Abdul Rahul Qureshi said, "The Supreme Court order is legally not appropriate because the Muslim law is an integral part of the religion. The right to freedom of religion is a fundamental right guaranteed under Article 25 of the Constitution."

The top court has recently decided to constitute a Constitution Bench to review the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act, 1986 that was passed during the Rajiv Gandhi government. The court had also observed that while the Hindu family laws were modified in the 50s, Muslim personal law remained mostly unchanged.

To a question on the right of a woman after talaq, he said that a woman is free to do second marriage once the iddat (period of waiting) is over.

"It is necessary to understand the concept of talaq. After talaq, a woman is free to marry another man. After talaq, second marriage for a woman is permissible. Talaq doesn't mean that she can't marry again or be locked in a room," Qureshi said, adding that 'it seems there is a misconception in the mind of our judges and others'.

On controversial triple talaq system, he said, "It will not make any difference whether you practice triple talaq or single talaq. After the waiting period of single talaq or triple talaq, your wife is free. What is the difference? Where is the difference? There is no difference at all."

"In fact, in the triple talaq practice, if a man feels he has taken this extreme step mistakenly, he can take back his wife during the iddat (period of waiting)," he added quickly.

When asked why women's right to initiate divorce is very limited compared with that of men, Qureshi said, "If a woman wants to initiate divorce, she can approach to the Khula but talaq is only given by the man. The woman has to justify why she wants talaq. Since there are no Islamic courts, imams can be contacted for this."

"Everything in Islam is governed by family and family is an institution. Each institution is headed by only one person. So it is obvious that that head of family will have some liberty," he replied when pointed out that don't you think there is a discrimination in the process.

He also said that the talaq delivered through social media like Facebook, WhatsApp, SMS, email or phone calls are valid.

"A man has authority to divorce his wife. Only thing is required that two should recognise each other," Qureshi said.

It should be noted that cases of oral talaq being delivered through social media platforms and chatting apps like Skype, Whatsapp and email services have increased in recent time.

India has separate personal laws for each religion that govern marriage, succession, adoption and maintenance.

Typical body of a 'moderate' muslim community.

But no feminist b**ch will say anything on this.

Because Muslim is secular.

you shouldn't take the idiocy of modern indian muslims and expand it to include islam and true muslims... below is from my own thread[1] on what true islam brought to india and the world :

When we examine marriage laws in their historic context, it is interesting to note that the universally accepted notion that marriages are contractual rather than sacramental originates in Muslim law, which was accepted by the French law only in the 1800s and incorporated into the English law in the 1850s and became part of codified Hindu law as late as 1955. Today it appears to be the most practical way of dealing with the institution of marriage. Treating marriage as a sacrament which binds the parties for life has resulted in some of the most discriminatory practices against women such as sati and denial of right to divorce and remarriage, even in the most adverse conditions.

The cornerstone of a Muslim marriage is consent, ejab-o-qubul (proposal and acceptance) and requires the bride to accept the marriage proposal on her own free will. This freedom to consent (or refuse), which was given to Muslim women 1,400 years ago, is still not available under Hindu law since sacramental rituals such as saptapadi and kanya dan (seven steps round the nuptial fire and gifting of the bride to the groom) still form essential ceremonies of a Hindu marriage. Even after the codification of Hindu law, the notion of consent is not built into the marriage ceremonies.

read this thread op in full... the article was written by a christian lady ( a feminist ).

prophet muhammad was the first feminist ( if we must use that limiting word ) therefore no true feminist ( male or female ) will condemn true islam, but certainly the fake-feminist bitches in india will condemn islam despite islam having brought relief and progress to the condition of female citizens of india... the fake-feminist bitches actually will be great supporters of rss, despite rss promoting the brahminical culture that has caused immeasurable atrocity, oppression and injustice for 2900 years... you are a buddhist, you should know that.

the "all-india muslim personal law board" is a bunch of fake-muslims who would have been punished with jail or death had they lived in a socialist muslim country.

lastly, i have always spoken for a "uniform civil code" ( ucc ) that must be designed by socialists and other progressives.

So talaq won't be required to be given 4 times because the 3G/4G speed lag will do the trick in this part of earth.

the "instant triple talaq" procedure is really a indian invention, that like the tableeghi jamaat has spread to other regions of the world.

"instant triple talaq" is not from islam, even if the 4g networks worked at their best.

three or four times on pdf i have written about the actual islami divorce procedure that takes place over three months and not over three seconds... again, the indian civil divorce procedure is indirectly taken from islami laws.
