#TripleTalaqBill should be seen only as one part of many attacks on Muslim identity & citizenship since 2014. Mob violence, police atrocities & mass incarceration won't bog us down

With a firm belief in the Constitution, we've withstood oppression, injustices & denial of rights

I hope @AIMPLB_Official will challenge its constitutionality in our fight to save India's constitutional values of pluralism & diversity

Laws don't reform society. If they did: sex-selective abortions, child abuse, wife abandonment & dowry would've been history

This law is against Muslim women & marginalizes them even more. The law forces a woman to stay in a marriage with an imprisoned man who'd verbally & emotionally abused her. It puts the burden of proof on Muslim women & forces her into impoverishment

On Thursday, #LokSabha passed the contentious #TripleTalaqBill criminalizing instant #talaq (divorce) by #Muslim men, with a jail term of up to three years for the husband. In this THREAD I try to break down different scenarios for you to understand its consequences:

Consider the following different scenarios when a Husband pronounces Triple Talaq instantly:

1) An intoxicated or/and angry husband pronounces 3 talaqs at one go. He later realises his follies and seeks fatwa from ulama as the couple want to stay together

(laughable as it may appear, this is often the case).

Hanafi Fiqh says instant triple talaq will dissolve the marriage, others, most notably Salafis disagree. Now SC too affirmed that instant TT will not annul the marriage.

‘A woman went to a Modi rally, her husband gave her teen talaq’ @rsprasad clinching argument for passing #TripleTalaqBill

‘This bill is not about empowering muslim women but penalising muslim men’ @sushmitadevmp

@AIADMKOfficial is often dismissively called b team of govt- but they oppose #TripleTalaqBill - say it is too severe to husband. 3 years imprisonment is barbaric to muslim husbands. no other religion has this provision

There is a persistent question that keeps showing up in the media, social media, and all political conversations: What has Modi done?

एक लगातार सवाल है जो मीडिया, सोशल मीडिया और सभी राजनीतिक वार्तालापों में दिखाई देता है: मोदी ने क्या किया है?

#ModiNeKyaKiya

Those who received free LPG & Electricity connections, do they ask what Modi has done?

जिनको मुफ्त रसोई गैस और मुफ्त बिजली कनेक्शन मिला वो पूछते है मोदी ने क्या किया?

#ModiNeKyaKia

The cost of cardiac stents was reduced by #Modi government by a whopping 85% which resulted in benefitting 10 lac patients.

जहा हार्ट के इलाज में ढाई लाख का खर्च आता था अब वह आधी से कम कीमत पर हो रहा है फिर पूछते हो मोदी ने क्या किया?
