Welcome judgement

Supreme Court has struck down Triple Talaq as unconstitutional. It is a welcome judgement of the apex court. The five-judge Constitution bench headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Jagdish Singh Khehar, deciding on the verdict, was seemingly split on the legality of the practice. CJI Khehar, while pronouncing the judgement, said, "Talaq-e-biddat is not violative of Articles 14, 15, 21 and 25 of the Constitution", but did say that there was a need for Parliament to enact a law on the issue at the earliest. The decision came soon after the apex court resumed the hearing on the matter. It is a regressive and retrograde practice in Muslim society but the brunt of which was borne by our Muslim sisters. Supreme court verdict is historic and the most important one in terms of equality of gender rights. Triple Talaq violates the fundamental rights of Muslim women. They were treated as toys by Muslim male members under the so-called religious practices. The Muslim women have been liberated from the evilest practice of their society. When more than 20 Muslim countries, including Pakistan and Bangladesh have already banned Triple Talaq, why would it be in practice in India? Triple Talaq has also no religious sanctity because if it was so, a theocratic country like Pakistan would not have banned it. Triple Talaq will no longer be practised in India. The govt. of the day must also enact a law to ban the evil practice of Triple Talaq like Sati and Devdas systems were abolished in the country. We are in 21st century , so the practice of medieval era must be discarded. Muslim Maulanas were exploiting the female member s of the society in the name of Triple Talaq. Does it make any sense that the holy relationship of marriage is broken whimsically through the telephone call or sending a letter through Speed Post or SMS by scribbling Trilple Talaq thrice? It was a senseless practice which should have gone long ago. Man and Woman irrespective of caste, creed, belief, and religion have got equal rights as per the Constitution of the nation. In the given position, why do women of Muslim community should be servile to their husbands. Why would be Muslim women always at the mercy of their male partners? Regressive, retrograde, backward looking approach has no place in society. The apex court verdict has been widely welcomed by all. All forward looking, progressive, liberal and development-oriented people have welcomed the SC's historic verdict on Triple Talaq. Triple Talaq was a curse for Muslim women. They will now feel empowered. The entire Muslim society must also come forward to welcome the verdict. First of all, Triple Talaq has nothing to do with religion. Even the holiest book Quoran of Muslims is reportedly not advocating in favour of Triple Talaq. The apex court verdict on Triple Talaq is hailed by all sections of society. Muslim women will no longer be a toy in the hands of their husbands. By launching a campaign to ban Triple Talaq, the ruling BJP has gathered votes in UP assembly elections by mobilizing the Muslim women on the issue. Whatever may be the political interest of BJP or Congress, but one thing is clear that all have welcomed SC's historic verdict on Triple Talaq. Man and Woman must be treated on equal footing. Women are not the object of exploitation that Muslim-dominated male members have been doing for many years. Triple Talaq was struck down by the majority bench 3:2 of Justices. Three were on the side of striking Triple Talaq, while two including CJI Justice Kehar for leaving it to religious society. If ever Muslim Mullahs in society gathered scent of Triple Talaq in any neighbour's home, they would go there to precipitate it. Now, they have no business to interfere.
