How about an instant divorce, one that is enough to say A word to be totally and completely free? Without witnesses, without lawyers? In many cases, it would seem wonderful, without the heavy legal and bureaucratic procedures that a marriage separation entails.

But that is not exactly what Indian Muslim women think, which recently, through a foundation, they have asked the Indian government to prohibit this practice in the legislation of the country.

The instant divorce in Muslim India, talaq, talaq, talaq!

We cannot begin to talk about instant divorce in Muslim India without first mentioning the characteristics of Islam in this immense Asian country.In case you do not know, Islam invaded India around 715 AD, entering Karachi , current Pakistan.Over time Muslims, under the Mughal empire, would come to rule India and what is now Pakistan and Bangladesh, clashing many times over religious issues (for example, Hinduism is polytheistic and monotheistic Islam), but without ever completely undermining the r ica and ancient Hindu culture.

This conflict worsened when India became independent from Britain in 1947, whose bloody outcome was the separation of Pakistan and India into two different countries: the first, Muslim , and the second, Hinduist .But since borders are always artificial, millions of Muslims, Buddhists, Sijes, Christians still live in India, Yainas, Zoroastrians, Bahais and Hinduists, and is the third non-Muslim country with more Muslims around the world .

Islam is the second religion in India (just look at these data: they are approximately between 150 and 170 million Muslims, which means 13.7% of the population), and it is in this context that we must locate ourselves to understand how it is possible that with a single word , a h Muslim ombre achieves an instant divorce from his wife, no more.

Perhaps India is the only country in which a Muslim divorces his wife in a matter of seconds, just pronouncing three times "talaq, talaq, talaq", which means divorcio.

This religious minority is governed by the Personal Muslim Law , which obeys, of course, to the Islamic faith-interpreted by local imams and religious schools in the country-especially for family matters, and both marriage and divorce fall into the category of "family".

The problem arises because in India there are government regulations aimed at protecting the faith of minorities-Muslim, Christian and Jewish-and consequently the Supreme Court and the government disregard.

Almost all Islamic countries, including Paki Stan and Bangladesh have banned “triple talaq,” but in India this practice thrives.

For more than a decade, Muslim women organized into a foundation, the Muslim Women's Movement of India ( BMMA ), which fights because instant divorce is definitely banned.They claim that Coran says clearly how to divorce a couple, and that triple talaq It is an "aberration" that allows the man to get rid of an untimely wife, without any obligation to her.

The problem is also that women are generally left unprotected, helpless and, if there are children, with child support at his charge.They usually have nowhere to go.The triple talaq allows the man be free, and encourage more discrimination towards women.

There have been cases in which the wife receives a letter, the "talaqnama", or simply the man sends her a WhatsApp message, "talaq, talaq, talaq ”, and that's it.And of course, it's unilateral. The woman is not allowed that instant divorce .

Professor Zakia Soman , Founder of the Movement and social activist, says about it:

“India is the only country in the world in which these non-choranic practices exist.They are barbaric and totally unacceptable, and extensive revision is needed of Muslim family laws in India.”

In October 2015 they wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to make reforms in Muslim divorce and polygamy laws , and filed a petition with the Supreme Court, but there has been no reaction.

For Professor Soman, the main obstacle lies in that the instant non-Islamic divorce is generally approved by the Muslim clergy and other influential Muslim groups, and therefore the decision of the Supreme Court to evaluate the BMMA petition has been rejected.

However, you are brave women do not faint, despite finding all kinds of impediments within their own religion and culture.One thing is certain: it is increasingly clear that women should prepare and educate themselves, so as not to have to depend on a man, and that if He says “talaq, talaq, talaq”, don't be a problem for her.
