TIL Desk/National/Hyderabad/ The Triple Talaq bill should be seen only as one part of many attacks on Muslim identity since the NDA government came to power in 2014, AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi has claimed. The bill is against Muslim women and marginalizes them even more, he alleged.
“Triple Talaq Bill should be seen only as one part of many attacks on Muslim identity and citizenship since 2014. Mob violence, police atrocities and mass incarceration won’t bog us down. With a firm belief in the Constitution, we’ve withstood oppression, injustices and denial of rights,” he tweeted.
The bill puts the burden of proof on Muslim women and forces them into impoverishment, he said. Besides, it forces a woman to stay in a marriage with an imprisoned man who has verbally and emotionally abused her, he added. Mr Owaisi said he hoped that the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) would challenge the triple talaq bills constitutionality.
