In what may come as a big relief to the Muslim women, their husbands would not be able to get rid of their wives in future by simply reciting talaaq, talaaq, talaaq.
The All-India Muslim Personal Law Board is set to ban this practice from next month and ratify the new model talaqnama.
The Board is likely to adopt a resolution at its annual meeting of 41-member working committee on July 4 at Nadwa College, here.
The new talaqnama, carefully drafted by the Board clerics after carrying out deliberations for three years, disapproves of the age-old three-talaaq system and replaces it with the Shariat-approved ‘phased-talaaq’.
Though the draft of the new talaqnama was already approved in Board’s Patna meeting in October 2003, it was awaiting a final nod from the 41-member working committee, Board’s highest-decision making body.
Under the new talaqnama, the separating couples would be given a minimum of three months to reconcile, instead of shauhar (husband) just firing talaaqs to separte without giving any chance to his begum.
Board also recommends increase in ‘Mehr’
