Lucknow: A delegation from the Afham-e-Jama Society met with Bihar Governor Arif Mohammad Khan in Patna to submit a memorandum requesting that the Triple Talaq Act of 2019 not be applied to Shia Muslims.
The delegation, including Nawab Masood Abdullah and others, argued that the practice of Triple Talaq (saying ‘talaq’ three times at once) does not exist and has never been customary in the Shia community. They emphasized that divorce in the Shia community is a difficult, structured process requiring the presence and witness of three Maulanas who recite Quranic verses (seega).
Furthermore, the divorce is not finalized until after the four-month, ten-day iddat period, allowing the couple time for reconciliation.
