Muslim women body moves
Supreme Court supporting triple talaq
New Delhi: At a time when
the Centre has yet to make its stand clear before the Supreme Court on the
practice of triple talaq, a voluntary organisation -- Muslim Women Welfare
Organisation – on Tuesday filed a plea supporting the age-old practice. The
Muslim Women’s Welfare Organisation, a Delhi-based organisation, filed the plea
through advocate, MR Shamshad, saying so far as the divorce is concerned the
Muslim women have equal right the way men have.Concurring the stand taken by
the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB), it said that with regard to
divorce, the Muslim women have much stronger rights than Muslim men which is
called ‘Khula’.“The right of Muslim men to Triple Talaq is a balancing act to
the right of Muslim women to Khula. If the Triple Talaq is struck down, it
would affect the free will of Muslim women as well”. For polygamy, it said a
woman can seek divorce under the Dissolution of Muslim Marriages Act.3 women
have already moved SC against triple talaq saying the practice is discriminatory
and violates their fundamental rights.Referring to the Dissolution of Muslim
Marriages Act, the women’s organisation said so as far as practice of polygamy
is concerned, Section 2 (viii) of the Act sufficient.A woman can make polygamy
as a ground of divorce if husband does not treat her equitably in accordance
with the injunctions of the Quran.“Thus, it is inappropriate to say that Muslim
women are meted out with cruelty when their husbands bring second wife and they
are left without any remedy. Further, the rights of Muslim women are protected
by virtue of Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act.Earlier, the SC
had sought a reply from the govt on the issue. The court is likely to hear the
case sometime next week.DNA India
Women's group to implead in
oral triple talaq case
Hyderabad: A city based
Muslim women's organisation is all set to implead in cases at the Supreme Court
pertaining to the controversial provision of oral triple talaq and gender
discrimination faced by Muslim women.Muslim Mahila Research Kendra (MMRK), headed
by Dr Asma Zehra who was involved in the rehabilitation of victims of the 2002
Gujarat riots, has sought to implead in the cases maintaining that Muslim
personal laws are not the domain of the judiciary. The stand comes across as
the opposite of what some other Muslim groups have been demanding - the
abolition of oral triple talaq.Talaaq issue has been totally misunderstood by
both Muslims and Non-Muslims."We have already filed relevant paperwork to
implead in the cases. We believe that personal laws are not the domain of
courts of law. Experts and scholars of Islam should decide cases of oral triple
talaq," Dr Zehra said. Terming the movement against oral triple talaq a
"propaganda against Muslim community," she said, "legislation
against oral triple talaq is not the solution. A social reform is required. The
safety of women is required." Launching a salvo against other Muslim women
groups who are against oral triple talaq, she claimed that they do not have
requisite knowledge of Quran, hadith (tradition of Prophet) and lacked
expertise on the subject. Dr Zehra, who is also a member of the AIMPLB, further
said that neither the judiciary nor the legislature can choose and pick which
parts of the Muslim personal law to retain or remove. "They (judiciary and
legislature) have to respect all schools of thoughts and religions. AIMPLB is a
body which represents all makaatib-e-fikr (schools of thought) of Islam,"
she said. She claimed that countries, such as Pakistan, Bangladesh and Saudi
Arabia, where oral triple talaq is not permitted, should not be cited as an
example as there are other laws working in conjunction with others. Muslim
Family Laws Ordinance in Pakistan provides that all marriages be registered
which is largely not seen in India, she said.MMRK has embarked on a signature
campaign which seeks to make a case that Muslim women are safe and content with
Muslim personal laws and are against any interference in the Sharia, which
includes the introduction of a Uniform Civil Code.timesofindia
Unauthorised talaqs are
rampant in Tamil Nadu, PIL in Madras HC claims
Chennai: A PIL has
brought to light the functioning of several hundred 'courts' run by advocates
and religious heads at many mosques in Tamil Nadu, including one on Anna Salai
in Chennai. Calling them kangaroo courts that follow neither sharia nor regular
law, the PIL said hundreds of divorces are granted whimsically. They dabbled
with property disputes too, it said. The first bench of Chief Justice Sanjay
Kishan Kaul and Justice R Mahadevan has issued notices to the Tamil Nadu home
secretary, the director general of police and the Chennai city commissioner of
police on the matter.When the PIL, filed by Abdur Rahman, an MBA holder from UK,
came up for admission on Wednesday,his senior counsel A Sirajudeen said it had
been filed to safeguard the interests of a large number of innocent Muslims who
were silently suffering because of the functioning of Makka Masjid Shariat
Council and similar forums across the state."Because of illegal
functioning of the council, the family systems of a number of Muslim families
have collapsed and hundreds of spouses suffer the ignominy of separation
because of their poverty," the PIL said.TOI
Acquitted in Akshardham
attack, Chand Khan is now jailed for ‘cow slaughter’
Lucknow: Chand Khan alias
Shan Khan spent 11 years in jail in the 2002 Akshardham temple attack case
before the Supreme Court in 2014 acquitted him along with five others. Two
years after he walked free, Khan has landed in jail again, this time for
alleged cow slaughter.In July 2006, a trial court had sentenced Khan to death
in the Akshardham case and the Gujarat High Court had upheld the sentence. In
May 2014, after the Supreme Court acquitted Khan and the others, he walked out
of Sabarmati Jail and went back to his family in Bareilly. But since June this
year, Khan has been in Pilibhit district jail after a case under the Cow
Slaughter Act was filed against him at Beesalpur police station in Pilibhit. According
to police, on June 15, sub-inspector Shyam Singh Yadav, who was leading a
vehicle inspection drive, stopped a car at Nawadiya Sitarganj locality in the
Beesalpur police station area. The police, who claim to have recovered 500 kg
of beef, arrested three persons — Shan Khan, Ateeq and Faizan, all residents of
Kakartola in Bareilly — and registered a case against them under the Cow
Slaughter Act. Police also seized the Maruti Zen in which the accused were
travelling. While police claimed that Khan did not tell them that he also went
by the name Chand Khan and that he had been arrested in the Akshardham case,
his family alleged that police were falsely implicating him and that his
“background” had come to haunt him. Top sources in Gujarat police, however,
confirmed Khan’s identity. Khalid Shaikh, who
represented Khan in the Ahmedabad trial court, said the court convicted him of
helping the two terrorists “by bringing them to Ahmedabad and taking them
around the city”.“However, the Supreme Court acquitted him of all those charges
by trashing the prosecution case and saying it did not have sufficient
corroborative evidence. Court also did not approve of the confessional
statements recorded under POTA (repealed in 2004),” Shaikh said. indianexpress

OIC Kashmir meet finds
support from Turkey, Azerbaijan
New Delhi: OIC contact
group on J&K which held a special meet at New York, did not take note of
the attack in Uri. Official sources however told The Hindu that they have noted
the strong support that Turkey and Azerbaijan extended to Pakistan during the
meet which called for “cessation of violence” in Kashmir.The meeting was
attended by the member countries of OIC where Pakistan was represented by
Sartaj Aziz, Advisor on Foreign Affairs of PM Nawaz Sharif.Ministry of External
Affairs is yet to formally respond to the staunch support extended by Turkey
and Azerbaijan to Pakistan during the meet which criticised India.“Foreign Ministers
of Azerbaijan and Turkey expressed grave concern at the deteriorating situation
in the Indian occupied J&K. They also expressed serious concern at the
serious human rights violations perpetrated by India against the innocent
Kashmiris. Foreign Minister of Turkey emphasized the urgency of resolving the
Jammu and Kashmir dispute, especially in the wake of the recent events,”(sic)
said Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan and added, “Foreign Minister of
Azerbaijan stated that OIC should think of innovative means to highlight the
human rights violations happening in the Indian occupied Kashmir”. Turkey’s
support to Pakistan’s high decibel campaign is a surprise especially since Turkish
foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu paid a visit to India in August and held
extensive discussion on common areas of concern. Azerbaijan’s support to
Pakistan’s position also raised eyebrows as India maintained regular diplomatic
contact with the country and sent out the Secretary (West) Sujata Mehta to the
oil rich country in July.thehindu

NIA begins gathering
evidence from Uri attack, to investigate insider role too
New Delhi: As investigators
gather evidence from the rummage left after the Uri attacks, the NIA plans to
conduct DNA test from samples of the 4 slain militants who were buried near the
attack site on Monday.NIA which registered an FIR on Tuesday said that the DNA
samples will be the key in helping them identify the Pakistani nationals like
in the Pathankot case. The reports will be used to pressure Pakistan
internationally. Officials said their photographs would be shown to JeM cadre
lodged in jails to zero-in on their identities. Agency sources said NIA would
adopt a 2-pronged strategy to investigate the case: One to find out how Army
lines were breached and whether there were any insiders passing on crucial
information to the enemy. The second would be investigation into the
perpetrators of the attack. It is possible that the militants received local
support using which they managed to gain entry into the airbase by cutting the
barbed wire, the official added. "We are examining all possibilities and
role of an insider cannot be ruled out," said a senior NIA official adding
that the four militants had some local support that may have been arranged by
their handlers. Army has also set up an inquiry into the lapses and to study
gaps in securing the base.TOI

Jordan's Muslim Brotherhood
stands hopeful to win between 20-30 seats in new parliament: Al Jazeera
Amman - For Dima Tahboub,
40, a candidate of the Islamic Action Front party, IAF, the political arm of
Jordan's Muslim Brotherhood Movement, Jordan needs a stronger parliament that
can reflect people's concerns and frustrations. Tahboub is a member of an
electoral coalition called the "National Coalition for Reform" that
includes - besides Islamists like herself - Jordanian nationalists, Christians and
members of other minority groups. "Our Coalition will work to express the
best interests of the public, not certain interest groups," Tahboub said.
"We will be in line with the national agendas of the people of
Jordan," added Tahboub during an interview with Al Jazeera at her house in
al-Rasheed neighbourhood of Amman last week.The coalition is fielding 120
candidates across the kingdom including 19 women.Of 1,293 candidates competing
for 130 seats in Jordan's parliament, 82 percent are non-partisan. The Muslim
Brotherhood and Islamist parties, while making a strong showing, have been
fractured into smaller groups.This year, Jordan made significant changes to its
electoral law, replacing a controversial one-person-one-vote system with a
list-based system designed to encourage political parties. The new law requires
voters to pick from among pre-set lists of candidates - a system that could
encourage stronger organising between candidates on ideological or party-based
grounds.But Tahboub says the changes have made the law all the more complicated
both for voters and even candidates. "The current election law is designed
by the govt so as not to give any
political group any majority seats in the parliament," she explained.
"This law, just like previous election laws, were made so confusing and
complicated that no one - including some of those running for elections -
understands them."The resulting votes, Tahboub added, will be calculated
in various electoral districts based on complicated mathematical equations and
certain calculations to determine who will win a seat in the next
parliament.Tahboub, a longtime advocate of women rights, voiced opposition to
the quota system and wants women to compete on their own merit rather than
being allocated one seat per province.Jordan's Muslim Brotherhood and its
political arm, the IAF, is known to be
the most organised opposition movement, with a well-oiled political machine
lacking in other political groups.The current election law is designed by the govt
so as not to give any political group
any majority seats in the parliament. This law, just like previous election
laws, were made so confusing and complicated that no one understands it even
some of those running for election.
