Muslim women demand banning triple talaq, polygamy and halala
At least 35 Muslim women organised a press conference in Bareilly appealing the Centre to make stringent laws against triple talaq, halala, polygamy and child marriage.
Nikah-halala is a practice in which a divorced woman has to consummate the marriage with another man and then get divorce from him before remarrying her previous husband.
Speaking to media, Shabina, one of the victim said, “What kind of a rule is this where the husband becomes your son?”
Shabina got married to Wasim Hussain in 2009 who gave her triple talaq after two years. After begging him to take her back, she was forced to have halala with her father-in-law. Later, she was given divorce and was forced to have halala with her husband’s younger brother .
