There is God's (Quranic) Sharia which is just and equitable, and there is
man's sharia which is selfish and cruel.
In case of a divorce, the Quranic Sharia calls for separation for at least
three months, while making efforts to reconcile the differences, if
reconciliation is not possible then comes the divorce, where the man takes full
responsibility for child support and alimony if the woman has no other source of
income.God's law is common sense. (Genesis of Sharia Law)
However, what Muslims have been practicing is Man's (Male's) Sharia,
believing that it is the divine law, and it is not. It is misogynistic and does
not care about woman. The guy can say the word divorce three times, and the life
that was built over a life time can be done away in a minute. Women constantly
live in the fear of this ugly pronouncement and it is not acceptable. No human
should live in apprehension, particularly the married women in a society where
the are dependent.
This has got to go, unless we are just to fellow beings, our spiritual
growth is incomplete. Being just amounts to being Godly or being spiritual or
achieving Taqwa.
Thanks God for giving courage to Muslim women in India to take the bold
step of calling to get rid of this ungodly law.

New
Delhi, Oct 29 : The Supreme Court has expressed concern over Muslim women facing
arbitrary divorces and second marriages of their husbands even as their first
marriages were subsisting.
Expressing
concern on the issue of “gender discrimination… which concerns the rights of
Muslim women”, the apex court bench of Justice Anil R. Dave and Justice Adarsh
Kumar Goel said the issue of rights of Muslim women against arbitrary divorce
surfaced number of times but was not addressed.
The
court said in its judgment pronounced on October 16 that there was no safeguard
“against arbitrary divorce and second marriage by her husband during currency of
the first marriage, resulting in denial of dignity and security to her”.
The
apex court said this while noting the submissions made by lawyers on the
question whether the Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005 would have
retrospective effect.
Directing
for a separate public interest litigation to address the issue, the bench issued
notice to the Attorney General and National Legal Services Authority, returnable
on November 23.
Issuing
the notice and directing for the registration of the PIL, the court said,
“Although the issue was raised before this court in the case of ‘Ahmedabad Women
Action Group vs Union of India’, this court did not go into the merits of the
discrimination with the observation that the issue involved state policy to be
dealt with by the legislature.”
The
court judgment noted that it was observed that the challenge to Muslim Women
(Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act, 1986, was pending before the Constitution
Bench and there was no reason to multiply proceedings on such an issue.
The
court noted that the matter needed consideration by the apex court as the issue
related not merely to a policy matter but to the fundamental rights of women
under Articles 14, 15 and 21 and international conventions and covenants.
