BJP PROCLAMATION FOR ABOLITION OF TRIPLE DIVORCE PRACTICED IN ISLAMIC CULTURE AND IT’S IMPACT ON UP VIDHAN SABHA ELECTION 2017

The word Talaq originally meant "repudiation" or "rejection". In Muslim law, it means release from a marriage tie, immediately or eventually. In a restricted sense it means separation effected by the use of certain appropriate words by the husband and in a wide sense it means all separations for causes originating from the husband. It is also generic name for all kinds of divorce but it is particularly applied to the repudiation by or on behalf of husband. Talaq ul biddat - It is a disapproved and sinful form of Talaq. It was introduced by Ommeyyads in order to escape the strictness of law. To be of this form, it must satisfy the following conditions : 1. Three pronouncements may be made during a single “Tuhr” either in one sentence (e.g. "I divorce thee thrice." ) or in three sentences (e.g. I divorce thee, I divorce thee, I divorce thee). 2. A single pronouncement made during a “Tuhr” clearly indicating an intention to dissolve marriage irrevocably (e.g. "I divorce thee irrevocably"). Who can pronounce Talaq (Divorce)? As per Islamic law, only the husband has a right to pronounce Talaq. Under Talaq-e-tafweez, a husband may delegate the authority to the wife to pronounce talk on his behalf.
