Download or read book Triple Talaq written by Salman Khurshid and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Triple talaq, or talaq-e-bidat, is one of the most debated issues in the Muslim world. From antiquity, the Muslim faith has been plagued by the portrayal of Muslim men regularly misusing this perceived “right” to divorce their wives instantly by simply uttering “talaq” thrice. The Supreme Court of India, in the landmark judgment of Shayara Bano v. Union of India, has taken the step to declare this form of talaq unconstitutional and to strike down its practice. In Triple Talaq: Examining Faith, Salman Khurshid, who intervened to offer the court an amicus brief in the “Triple Talaq case”, offers a straightforward yet comprehensive overview of this complicated issue. Explaining the reasons behind the court’s decision, he dives deep into other aspects of this practice: why it is wrong; why it has thrived; what was the judicial history of this issue; what the Quran and Muslim religious leaders say about it; and what the comparative practices in other countries are. A handy guide to this landmark decision and what it means for Muslims in India, this book is written not just for the theologian, but also for the common reader.

Download or read book The Muslim Women Protection of Rights on Marriage Bill 2018 Triple Talaq Bill Or Triple Talaq Law of India written by Shubham Sinha and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-08-09 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Triple talaq is a form of divorce that was practised in India, whereby a Muslim man could legally divorce his wife by pronouncing talaq (the Arabic word for divorce) three times. The pronouncement could be oral or written, or, in recent times, delivered by electronic means such as telephone, SMS, email or social media. The man did not need to cite any cause for the divorce and the wife need not have been present at the time of pronouncement. After a period of iddat, during which it was ascertained whether the wife is pregnant, the divorce became irrevocable. In the recommended practice, a waiting period was required before each pronouncement of talaq, during which reconciliation was attempted. However, it had become common to make all three pronouncements in one sitting. While the practice was frowned upon, it was not prohibited. A divorced woman could not remarry her divorced husband unless she first married another man, a practice called nikah halala. Until she remarried, she retained the custody of male toddlers and prepubescent female children. Beyond those restrictions, the children came under the guardianship of the father.

Download or read book Questioning the Muslim Woman written by Nida Kirmani and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The marginalisation of Muslims in India has recently been the subject of heated public debate. In these discussions, however, Muslim women are often either overlooked or treated as a homogenous group with a common set of interests. Focusing on the narratives of women living in a predominantly Muslim colony in South Delhi, this book attempts to demonstrate the complexity of their lives and the multiple levels of insecurity they face. Unlike other studies on Indian Muslims that focus on Islam as a defining factor, this book highlights the ways in which religious identity intersects with other identities including class/status, regional affiliation and gender. The author also sheds light on the impact of such events as the Babri Masjid demolition in 1992 and the subsequent riots, the Gujarat communal carnage in 2002, and the anti-Sikh violence in New Delhi in 1984, along with the rise of Hindutva, and growing Islamophobia experienced worldwide in the post-9/11 period — on the articulation of identities at the local level and increasing religion-based spatial segregation in Indian cities. The study highlights how these incidents combine in different ways to increase the sense of marginalisation experienced by Muslims at the level of the locality. Understanding the need to look beyond preconceived religious categories, this book will serve as essential reading for those interested in sociology, anthropology, gender, religious and urban studies, as well as policymakers and organisations concerned with issues related to religious minorities in India.

Download or read book 30 Rights of Muslim Women written by Daisy Khan and published by Monkfish Book Publishing. This book was released on 2024-05-21 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This authoritative “go-to” publication aims to educate women on how to express their rights within Islam. Perfect for enabling activists to integrate an egalitarian Islamic belief system into their movements. The most effective means of improving Muslim women's lives is connecting them to their deeply held beliefs that affirm human dignity and gender equality at the core of the Islamic faith. But Muslim women lack this information that enlightens and vouches for their sacred rights, and they have no accessible tools that encourage faith-based activism consistent with the Islamic faith. To protect them from being misrepresented by or outside their communities, there is a need to provide pre-packaged, easy-to-understand literacy tools to women so they can lead lives of choice, dignity, and opportunity. 30 Rights of Muslim Women aims to fill this gap.

Download or read book The Rights of Women in Islam written by Asgharali Engineer and published by Sterling Publishers Pvt. Ltd. This book was released on 2008 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women's issues continue to dominate the Islamic world in particular, as there has been a very gradual change in the status of women in the Islamic world as a whole. This book covers various aspects relating to the status of women in the pre-Islamic period -- customs and -traditions, forms of marriage, divorce and forms of divorce, dower, traditions regarding slave-girls, and so on. It then goes on to deal with the status of women in the post-Islamic period -- the Qur'anic concept of women's rights in marriage, divorce, inheritance, custody of children, polygamy, maintenance, property, right to earn, etc. It quotes extensively from the Qur'an and Sunnah. It also deals with the Arab adaat, that is, pre-Islamic customs and traditions regarding women. Altogether, it attempts to arm Muslim women with Islamic arguments for their empowerment. The author, a renowned scholar, has sought to set the record straight by reinterpreting women's rights in the true Qur'anic spirit. He argues quite convincingly that the Holy Book gives equal rights to both the sexes, and it does not discriminate between them as regards personal, democratic and human rights. The question whether in a secular society Muslim personal law needs any change, and, if so, in which direction the reform should be undertaken is dealt with in detail. This third edition contains a chapter: 'On a Muslim Woman Leading the Congregational Prayer'. This chapter deals with the important aspect of Muslim women's problems and also hopes to further enhance their understanding of the Shari'ah issues.

Download or read book Till Talaq Do Us Part written by Ziya Us Salam and published by Penguin Random House India Private Limited. This book was released on 2018-04-12 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shayara Bano knocked at the doors of the Supreme Court to challenge her husband's sudden decision of ending their marriage using the three dreaded words: talaq, talaq, talaq. A 1980s Bollywood movie sparked off a national debate on the validity of instant divorce, which even saw Dawat-a four-page daily published by the Jamaat-e-Islami Hind-talking about triple talaq as per the Quran. For a long time, the battle against instant talaq has garnered public attention. In Till Talaq Do Us Part, Ziya Us Salam, an eminent social commentator and an associate editor at Frontline, presents a holistic view of how divorce works in Islam. Ranging from triple talaq to talaq granted over three months to khula and talaq-e-tafweez, the book also discusses other methods of divorce available to a Muslim couple which go ignored thanks to all the attention on talaq, talaq, talaq.

Download or read book Triple Talaq written by Dr. Aijaz Ahmad and published by K.K. Publications. This book was released on 2021-08-09 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book ‘Triple Talaq’ has been written to enlighten the readers about the most burning issues of talaq in current times. For the years the triple talaq was generally the topic of discussion among my colleagues and other intellectuals of the society. They generally asked me questions regarding the triple talaq and tried to satisfy them. However, after a deep study, I have tried to satisfy the readers through this book and hope the government would also learn a lot for the new legislation about the triple talaq. The controversy regarding the triple talaq and to know the details about the subject in the Shariah (Islamic Law or Revealed Law of Allah Almighty), motivated the author to study deeply on the subject and write this book “Triple Talaq” for the readers. It is a humble beginning to understand the details of the talaq and follow accordingly in the light of the Holy Quraan and Hadeeth (Traditions i.e. acts and sayings of Prophet Mohammad PBUH). This work is neither a final work nor the guidelines or any community or sect. Holy Quran and Hadeeth are the only sources to follow the right path, and the Muslim jurists are the best propounder. This work is meant for the enhancement of the knowledge of the general readers. I shall be happy if the people shall read this work and give feedback as well as the better suggestion on the subject of talaq or triple talaq. I will also request the government to rethink on the subject as it is a matter of faith and, undoubtedly, very sensitive. Marriage under Shariat is a civil contract between man and woman in the presence of the witnesses and it is meant to last for the lifetime of the spouses. The marital co-existence can only last for a long time if it is established on mutual love, compassion and respect for each other. After the marriage, by virtue of this love and affection, the spouses are able to live together in a goodly manner by fulfilling each other's rights. However, sometimes a situation may arise where the husband hates the wife or vice versa. In such a situation, Islam admonishes and enjoins them to bear with each other and find means of reconciliation. However, the hatred may be increased in such a way that it renders the relationship between them so strained that the continuation of their union becomes undesirable. The spouses, under the circumstance, are allowed to terminate the marriage by pronouncing talaq. The marriage termination right is primarily vested in the husband. Thus, he can terminate it on his own initiative through Talaq-e-Ahsan, Talaq-e-Hasan, and Talaq-e-Biddat or triple talaq. This right, however, is not absolute because the marriage can also be terminated at the instance of the wife which is called Khul or Khula. Both the parties can also obtain the divorce through the judicious process. Among all the procedures of talaq, the Talaq-e-Biddat or triple talaq is more controversial right from the lifetime of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) to the current period. Almost all the Muslim countries have passed the legislation regarding this process, in the light of the Holy Quraan and Hadeeth, for the amelioration in the Muslim society according to the need of the time. In India, the current government has also started a step in this regard, but due to the mismatch of the Shariat with the parliamentary legislation, it has made the situation more complex. Naturally, the problem is related to the Muslim community, and the government must have involved the Muslim jurists in the compilation of the Bill. The first chapter of the book is ‘Meaning, Definition, and Concept of Talaq’. In this chapter, the full introduction of talaq including its origin, meaning, and definition has been clearly defined. It has also been defined that how the Islam has given a novel idea and practice of marriage and separation or talaq. The concept of talaq is to provide more freedom to the people in the worldly affairs. Different types of people can use the idea at different times and circumstances. While other religions fixed the marriage as bondage, the Islam defined the marriage as a civil contract and one can freely untie the contract in unavoidable circumstances. The second chapter ‘Types of Talaq’ deals all types of talaq in detail such as Talaq-e-Ahsan, Talaq-e-Hasan, Talaq-e-Biddat, Ila, Faskh, Lian, Mubarat, Khula, Dhihar and separation from the judicious process. It has also been discussed that at what time and circumstances which talaq is permissible according to the Shariah. The ideology of different sects of Islam and other Islamic jurists has been widely discussed with the evidences of the Holy Quraan and Hadeeth. All the means of separation are judiciously proved in a scientific manner. The Third chapter ‘Talaq and Freedom and Rights of Women’ throws enough light on the freedom of women and their rights in the Muslim society. Islam provides its women the freedom to choose the life partner and demand separation if the married life becomes un-adjusting. After the talaq, she can marry the former husband or to another or to whom she likes the most. The women also can hold the property and jewelry for her better use in the future. She is entitled to claim the money from her husband, but not at all necessary to share her money with her husband. She is free, not even to feed her children and serve her in-laws. The fourth chapter ‘Triple Talaq and its Religious and Legal Entity’ deals the subject in the light of the Holy Quraan and Hadeeth. Different Ayats (Sentences) of many Surats (Chapters) of Holy Quraan related to talaq have been widely discussed. Many Hadeeth compiled by many eminent Islamic scholars have been quoted as proof related to the matters of talaq. It has been summarized in this chapter that Allah Almighty and Prophet (PBUH) have provided the talaq as a novel idea for freedom, emancipation, peaceful living and a long-standing social setup. The fifth chapter is ‘Triple Talaq: Worldwide Legislation’ in which the legislation of almost all Muslim countries related to the triple talaq has been discussed. It has been seen that most of the Muslim countries have banned triple talaq by treating it as a social evil and the most sinful act. These Muslim countries have taken the plea that the second Caliph Umar Ibn Khattab had made the ruling to discourage the triple talaq. Even he had punished some of the pronouncers of triple talaq. However, it must be cleared that there is no criminalization of triple talaq in any Muslim country’s legislation, although, they have discouraged and even banned the same. The sixth chapter is the ‘Triple talaq in India’. In this chapter, the circumstances and frequency of triple talaq in India have been discussed. The court cases, including the Ishrat Jahan case of the Supreme Court, the decision of the Supreme Court regarding triple talaq, the triple bill passed by the Lok Sabha, discussion of the Bill in Rajya Sabha, etc. have been discussed in detail. In the last, by analyzing various social aspects, it has been suggested that the triple talaq is the most hateful and sinful act among all permissible things in the Shariat. It must be discouraged by the legislation, but the criminalization of triple talaq or banning the same is not at all appreciable. I hope that the information given in this work is worth reading and, undoubtedly, it will enlighten the youths to avoid the triple talaq or choose the better option of talaq even in unavoidable circumstances. I am sure that the government would also reconsider its policy regarding the triple talaq and would leave the matter for the Muslim jurists to settle according to the Shariat. At last, I would like to say that this work is not complete at all and all scholars are humbly invited to write on this subject to guide the youths of present and future generations to adopt the right path of Shariat and avoid the triple talaq which is not only the most sinful act but also a curse to the society. In the last, I feel it my pleasant duty to acknowledge the kindness, advice, and help, which I received from my respected Islamic scholars like Mufti Mohammad Zahid, Maulana Ansarullah, Hafiz Jamaluddin and many other Islamic scholars. I am also indebted to my colleagues, friends, and relatives Dr. Mohammad Isa Gauhar, Dr. Tufail Ahmad, Advocate Rizwan Ahmad, Dr. Siraj Ahmad, Master Nisar Ahmad, Dr. Shameem Ahmad, Mr. Naseem Ahmad, etc. without whose encouragement, moral support and active cooperation, this work would not have been possible. I am grateful to my wife Imrana Anjum, my children Lubna, Iram, Anam, and Sadaf for their kind support and constant encouragement. Dr. Aijaz Ahmad
