37% rural youth sans Internet access: Study
Muslim women in India are petitioning the country’s Supreme Court to ban ‘triple talaq’ as a means of instant divorce, arguing it is unconstitutional, discriminatory and contrary to Islamic law.
A ‘triple talaq’ allows a husband to instantly divorce his wife, either orally or in writing, simply by repeating the term ‘talaq’ – or divorce – three times.
Women are not allowed to respond or object to the talaq, and are often left vulnerable after being suddenly abandoned and shunned by both family and the wider community, while the men recieve no repurcussions, women’s groups argue.
