This VERY POORLY DRAFTED BILL, that seems to have been DRAFTED in  GREAT HURRY without ANY KIND of CONSULT IONS with the PARTIES it is going to AFFECT purely with POLITICAL INTENTIONS, Mindlessly Criminalises act of  Pronouncing  “INSTANT Tripple Talaq and Imposes JAIL TERM of 3 years! But the FUNNY aspect of this THOROUGHLY JUNK BILL with CONTRADICTIONS & many MINDLESS hyperboles, Pronouncement of “INSTANT Tripple Talaq” by Muslim Men as a “RAPID means of Instant Divorce” has been already  MADE VOID by Supreme Court just 3 Months back in AUGUST-2017!( Though the Supreme Court has RETAINED as a VALID means of Divorce for Muslim Men and Women ;Tripple-Talaq-e-Ahsan & Tripple Talaq-e-Hasan, that is  Formal Divorce CARRIED out FORMALLY over Three or MORE MONTHS that includes PERSUASION by elders to reconsider the Decision etc)

So the  Neo-Sanghi-Fascist-Bharashtachar-Jumla-Party Government  has brought this horrendously INCOMPETENT / JUNK bill  CLEARLY with MALAFIDE Intentions & it is meant ONLY to  Harass Muslim MEN& not for helping Muslim Women in their Marital Strife!

 In fact this bill FOOLISHLY takes MARITAL STRIFE between Muslim Men & Women into a LEGAL QUAGMIRE of  ARREST of the MAN & his imprisonment  for 3 YEARS without  OFFERING any SUCCOUR from this SILLY GOVERNMENT to the WOMAN who will then be LEFT to FEND for HERSELF and  her CHILDREN due to this POORLY and MADLY drafted  UNCONSTITUTIONAL bill as it VIOLATES many of the FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS of the Muslim Men as EXPLICITLY Guaranteed in the Indian Constitution and WILL not STAND SCRUTINY by the SUPREME COURT and will be THROWN OUT as a NULL & VOID LAW that CLASHES and GOES AGAINST  innumerable FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS ( to EQUALITY before LAW) EXPLICITLY Guaranteed in the Indian Constitution !

PRECISELY, the REAL&SORDID MOTIVE of this"Bharashtachar-JUMLABAZ FEKU'S-U’Turn-Adani, Ambani’s- Sales Center-EVM-VVPAT-Rigging / Tampering-NEO- SANGHI-FASCIST-MAFIOSI-LUMPENS-GOONS-Party" is ONLY to HARASS MUSLIM MEN using this (UNLAWFUL)-LEGAL TOOL in the hands of a POLICE FORCE that has shown TOTAL BIAS against Muslims in all the COW-PROTECTION- VIGILANTE LYNCHING cases and has arrested only the Muslim VICTIMS of LYNCHINGS & not the Hindu so called Gau-Rakshak LUMPEN-GOONS and MURDERERS!

AND so Muslim Organisations should APPROACH Supreme Court immediately if this gets PASSED EVEN in the RAJYA SABHA also (through a CONSPIRACY of SILENCE by CONGRESS and OTHER Opposition Parties like the Trinamool Congress, BJD etc) AND get it declared NULL and VOID as early as possible by a CONSTITUTION BENCH since this BILL is BLATANTLY against MANY FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS guaranteed in the CONSTITUTION that BAR any kind of DISCRIMINATION on GROUNDS of Religion, race, caste , language AND also tries to CONVERT a CIVIL matter concerning MUSLIM PERSONAL LAW in to "CRIMINALITY? by equating "pronouncement of INSTANT TRIPPLE TALAQ" as a CRIME that will entail not one, or, two but FULL THREE YEARS of IMPRISONMENT and CONSPIRATORIALLY this FASCIST government has declared this CIVIL OFFENCE of "pronouncement of INSTANT TRIPPLE TALAQ"  that has already been DECLARED as VOID by a SUPREME COURT BENCH as a COGNISABLE as well as NON-BAILABLE OFFENCE – under which LAW / CLAUSE, a POLICE MAN can arrest a person ON HIS OWN DISCRETION or on COMPLAINT from any TOM , DICK, and HARRY and send him to JAIL through an ORDER of a LOCAL magistrate!!

Article by RANA SAFVI- On- this PERNICIOUS Bill on Triple Talaq : She was one of the  Women Warriors  who fought for getting SUPREME COURT DECLARE Instant  Triple talaq ( Talaq-e-Biddat)  as VOID & Unconstitutional

I'm a Muslim woman and this triple talaq bill is not what I fought for
At a time when Muslim men are already living in fear, one more law would be added to harass, jail and demonise them.

On December 28, a bill criminalising triple talaq was rushed through the lower house of Parliament and passed without much opposition. By late evening, the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill, 2017 (triple talaq bill) had been passed.

In fact, the most vocal opposition was by AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi. It was opposed by MPs from the RJD, AIMIM, BJD, AIADMK and All India Muslim League. 

They called it arbitrary and flawed.

So, why was I, who fought tooth and nail to get the instant triple talaq declared null and void by Parliament, unhappy? How did I find myself on the side of the very people I had fought against in many TV studios over instant triple talaq?

We had all rejoiced when the Supreme Court declared the practice of triple talaq as unconstitutional. That is how it should be. It was a practise that had no basis in either Quranic or constitutional law. I had rejoiced as an Indian, as a woman and as a Muslim that Indian Muslim women would get justice and not be at the mercy of their husbands.

In Islam, marriage is a civil contract and not an eternal bond which can’t be dissolved. The Quran has prescribed talaq, but to be pronounced by the husband over a period of three months with attempts at reconciliation and arbitration. The woman can ask for "khula" which is a more complicated process and I had argued for a model nikahnama whereby both men and women have equal rights in matters of divorce. Matters of custody, maintenance etc, can also be pre-decided as the nikahnama serves as a pre-nuptial agreement.

First of all, let me clarify that it was talaq-e-biddat or instant triple talaq (pronounced in one sitting) that is under discussion. This was often given in anger, in an abnormal state and many a times regretted. Now that the Supreme Court had made it illegal, it doesn’t hold. The woman who has had her husband say this is not divorced.

The reason for bringing this bill in Parliament was that despite that judgment it had not acted as a deterrent.

In fact, law and justice minister Ravi Shankar Prasad even said that despite the Supreme Court setting aside talaq-e-biddat, it is seen that it has not worked as any deterrent.

While fighting to get the instant triple talaq declared illegal and unconstitutional, I had argued as an Indian protected by the Constitution, as a woman who demands and expects equality, as a practising Muslim who is aware of her own rights as given by the Quran. Once again, I question the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill, 2017 on the same basis.

I am neither a lawyer nor someone who has studied law. But as a responsible citizen of a democratic country, I have the right to question my government. My basic question is why was something that was already declared null and void sought to be criminalised? In fact, the Supreme Court itself did not ask this to be made into a law.

Now to the question - why am I worried?

This bill, if passed into a law, prescribes a punishment of a fine and imprisonment up to three years for the husband. It is also cognisable and non-bailable.

Let’s understand what cognisable means: it means that a policeman does not need a warrant to arrest the accused. It also means that the complaint can be made by not just the victim, in this case the wife, but by others too. In fact, any information against the husband can lead to an arrest.

Care to think how it will be misused? Anyone with an axe to grind can get a Muslim man jailed. The way our courts are over burdened it may be a long time before justice prevails. As Indian Union Muslim League MP, ET Muhammed Basheer, said it was “taking a gun to kill a mosquito”. There will definitely be more blood and damage in the house than that of a tiny mosquito.

The other provisions of the bill are subsistence allowance for the wife and dependent children and custody of children to the wife. Many argued last evening that how can a man who is in jail provide for his family or fight a custody battle for his children since no court will grant custody of children to a man in jail? A woman who sought to save her marriage by ensuring that instant triple talaq is illegal is not being served justice if her husband can be thrown into jail on a cognisable and non-bailable warrant. Just imagine her life. Imagine the life of her children. And to top it all she’s still married to him. Since the instant triple talaq has already been declared illegal she can’t even remarry after the iddat or waiting period.

This is a hasty bill, not well thought out and, of course, not well-drafted.

What was the hurry? Why was no member of the community that this bill was aimed at consulted? Neither the BMMA (Bhartiya Muslim Mahila Andolan) or Bebaak Collective, both Muslim women groups which had fought against instant triple talaq in the courts, were consulted. And this is why I'm worried.

In a climate where Muslim men are already living in the fear of being lynched for being perceived as cow smugglers, eating or storing beef, for "love jihad" etc, one more law could be added to harass, jail and demonise them.

"Shameful display of brute force passing the TT Bill turning muslim husbands into criminals , this is not what we fought for in the Supreme Court of India

— indira jaising (@IJaising) December 28, 2017"

Just as noted lawyer Indira Jaising, who too fought for making instant triple talaq illegal, tweeted, this is not at all what we fought for in the Supreme Court of India.

I'm a Muslim woman&this triple talaq bill is not wht I fought for-RANA SAFVI-SPOT ON!
