Download or read book Nikah Halala written by Ziya Us Salam and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-07-18 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Muslim society in India remains in a state of denial when it comes to nikah halala. The Quran allows divorce twice. After that the spouses either live together happily or divorce gracefully. Nowhere does it allow marriage with a pre-arranged date of divorce to a new man only to go back to the former husband. Nikah Halala: Sleeping with a Stranger is a probing exercise that exposes the cycle of instant triple talaq followed by a fake marriage, which too ends with another instant triple talaq that allows the woman to marry the former husband. While the holy book does not mention instant triple talaq, this tradition is unique to the Indian subcontinent that claims to bring squabbling couples together but ends up making a mockery of the faith and punishes women for the crimes of men. The first ever book to talk of the subject, Nikah Halala presents the sordid reality of mock marriages against the background of Quranic injunction on the subject and exposes the departure in practice from the teachings of the holy book that gives divorced women complete freedom to follow their path.

Download or read book Mutinies for Equality written by Tanja Herklotz and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The developments in India since the new millennium have shown that gender equality is a topic in constant flux and dynamic change. In recent years, the Indian parliament passed key legislation on maternity benefits, surrogacy, HIV/Aids prevention, sexual harassment in the workplace, and amendments to the criminal law with respect to violence against women. While many of the reforms of recent years have been the result of long-standing legal battles, spokespersons for gender-equality have pointed to more deep-rooted issues with the system that cannot be resolved and reformed with the law alone. This book analyses reform efforts in the area of gender and the law and attempts to situate where a reform has taken place, by whom it was brought about and what impact it has had on the society. The papers in this volume engage with the protagonists who shape the debate around law and gender and locate their effort into a socio-political context, thereby showing that the discourses around law and gender are closely connected to broader debates around secularism and religion, identity, culture, nationalism and family. The book offers compelling evidence that the drivers of change are emerging from beyond the traditional institutions of courts and parliament, and that to understand the everyday implications of gender based reform, it is important to look beyond these narrow institutional sources"--

Download or read book Divorce and Democracy written by Saumya Saxena and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-07-31 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book captures the Indian state's difficult dialogue with divorce, mediated largely through religion. By mapping the trajectories of marriage and divorce laws of Hindu, Muslim, and Christian communities in post-colonial India, it explores the dynamic interplay between law, religion, family, minority rights and gender in Indian politics. It demonstrates that the binary frameworks of the private-public divide, individuals versus group rights, and universal rights versus legal pluralism collapse before the peculiarities of religious personal law. Historicizing the legislative and judicial response to decades of public debates and activism on the question of personal law, it suggests that the sustained negotiations over family life within and across the legal landscape provoked a unique and deeply contextual evolution of both, secularism and religion in India's constitutional order. Personal law, therefore, played a key role in defining the place of religion and determining the content of secularism in India's democracy.
