Muslim Mahila group: Misinformation about Triple talaq bill by AIMPLB

Mumbai, April 2: Reiterating its demand for the law banning 'triple talaq', 'nikah halala' and polygamy, the Bharatiya Muslim Mahila Andolan on Monday condemned the All India Muslim Personal Law Board for "spreading misinformation" on these issues.

Two days after a massive Muslim women's rally taken out by AIMPLB's women's wing here, BMMA co-founder Zakia Soman said that orthodox and patriarchal males have dominated the debate on rights of Muslim women and stonewalled attempts towards reforms in the Muslim personal laws.

"Recent 'women marches' organised by these groups show how they have brazenly instrumentalized women and used them against their own legal protection. They are responsible for the biggest disservice to not just Muslim women but also to Islam," she said.

Soman accused these groups of not spreading awareness about women's equality based on the Quran.
