#TripleTalaqBill should be seen only as one part of many attacks on Muslim identity & citizenship since 2014. Mob violence, police atrocities & mass incarceration won't bog us down

With a firm belief in the Constitution, we've withstood oppression, injustices & denial of rights

I hope @AIMPLB_Official will challenge its constitutionality in our fight to save India's constitutional values of pluralism & diversity

Laws don't reform society. If they did: sex-selective abortions, child abuse, wife abandonment & dowry would've been history

This law is against Muslim women & marginalizes them even more. The law forces a woman to stay in a marriage with an imprisoned man who'd verbally & emotionally abused her. It puts the burden of proof on Muslim women & forces her into impoverishment

Existing laws provided stringent & comprehensive safeguards to ALL women - regardless of faith. Laws such as Domestic Violence Act provide for multiple remedies to women who may've faced verbal, emotional or physical abuse in a domestic relationship

Let's not forget that the triple talaq judgment had its root in a case that didn't involve any Muslims. In Prakash v. Phulavati (2015), J Goel & Dave, were dealing with the question of a Hindu daughter's share in her father's property.

The Hon'ble bench then suo-motu registered triple talaq under Muslims Personal Law as a separate PIL. However, the case before their Honours did not concern 3T or Muslim Personal Law at all

It is a testing time for those of us who believe in rule of law & the guarantees of non-arbitrariness, freedom of religion & right to distinct culture enshrined in the Constitution

With sabr & our resolute faith in Allah, we will overcome these challenges, inshallah
