New Delhi, Oct 25 : Union Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu on Tuesday advocated the abolition of ‘triple talaq’, saying it was a form of gender discrimination and against constitutional principles.
“Gender discrimination must come to an end. We are a civilised society, we are a democratic country; why should there be gender discrimination? Triple talaq is a gender discrimination and against the principles of Constitution,” the Union Information and Broadcasting Minister told the media here.
“Why should those helpless women be penalised for somebody else’s fault. That is why the BJP, the government, is strongly in favour of ending the practice of triple talaq,” said Naidu.
His comments came a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his first comments on the controversial issue, said the government and society should ensure justice to Muslim women and not let their lives be destroyed by triple talaq.
Naidu avoided a direct comment on the rift within Uttar Pradesh’s ruling Samajwadi Party but said “dynasty politics was nasty for democracy”.
“Dynasty in democracy is nasty but it is tasty to some people and we are seeing the results also,” he said, adding the BJP doesn’t want to “fish in their troubled waters”.
“It is their internal matter, but people are seeing what is happening and they will decide what should be done,” added Naidu.—IANS

Dear brothers
Assalamu alaikum
Please devote your valuable time, thoughts and energy on a healthy debate. We need to ask Mr. Naidu, is dowry practice constitutional? Where is Rs 15 Lakhs? What 1.5 Crore jobs BJP had promised? BJP has miserably failed on all front. With no other alternative to deceive Indian public any more they have resorted to their regular agenda of teasing contentious issues like Triple Talaak followed by UCC. As per Govt. data the rate of Talaaq among Muslims is just 0.116% only. Because of this minor unpleasant activity, Govt. of India is trying to deprive law abiding Muslim citizens of India who constitute about 99.884%, their Fundamental right which has been protected under Art 25 & 26?
Stop cheating Muslims anymore. We have identified our path and we are capable of solving our problems on our own. We don’t need anti Muslim BJP Govt. to come to the rescue of Muslim Women.
Secure the rights of Hindu women first, if at all you are so much curious about Women’s right, gender justice and constitutional rights, Mr Naidu and his BJP.
spoken like a RSS loyal worker.
What a wonderful claim? Triple Talaaq unconstitutional? Govt will end Triple Talaaq in order to win justice for Muslim women?
Naidu Sir, do you still remember Dowry Prevention Act 1961? during last 55 years, Why hindu women did not get justice? even today daily women are tortured for additional dowry. Those unable to give dowry are killed in kitchen fire. When will you secure justice for Hindu women? first stop killing of hindu women then talk about Muslim women. Divorces among Muslims is 0.5% only whereas among Hindus its 3.5%. When will atrocities against Hindu women will end? Champions of hindus, will you secure justice for hindu women?
Naidu is absolutely correct. Triple talaq is unconstitutional. Let muslim women decide what is right for them. You mullahs are useless people & acting as obstacle in women empowerment. All muslim institutions should be given in the hands of muslim women & then see what happens.
You asked about dowry act. There are incidences happening in society for forceful dowry demand & few hindu women are falling victim. However, due to this act dowry demand incidences have come down.
You say divorce cases among hindus are more than muslims then I am proud of it… because it is indication of women empowerment. When woman learn & become financially independent then she shows courage to divorce her husband. Unfortunately in muslims, women cannot give talaq due to financial dependency & illiteracy. So, empower your women so that divorce cases among your society will also increase.
Dear brother,
I am happy to see your comments. There is no single country in the world as good as our beloved country India. Freedom of expression is our fundamental right. People may agree or disagree that’s everyone’s private right.
Let me clarify your doubts. (1) We have elected central Govt. to take care of national and international issues. Have you got your 15 Lakhs? Do you know the how many thousands of crores our banks have lost towards bad debts because big industries have cheated banks after availing loans. BJP promised 1.5 Cr jobs every year, how many people got jobs?
(2) Did you ever read Hindu religious code Manu? You read it you will come to know whats written there about status of women and how they should be treated. (3) You are Proud of Divorces? Perhaps you are not married or you don’t have sisters, please brother, divorces should never take place unless essential, no matter whether among Muslims or non-Muslims, never ever support any divorce because innocent children come to street (4) Dowry has come down because of the act? Just look into the figures of NCRB, every 90 minutes a lady is set on fire for dowry, this dowry has affected all communities including Muslims.
Uniform Civil Code is nothing but political gimmick of BJP to polarize Hindu votes and win elections. Please use your thoughts to rectify the situation. Talking otherwise is useless.
FREEDOM TO PREACH,PRACTISE AND PROPAGATE RELIGION IS FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS ENSHRINED IN RELIGION.
MR. NAIDU ,DO NOT TALK NON SENSE.
TO DEPRIVE OTHERS TO EAT WHAT THEY LIKE IS ANTI NATIONAL AND SO COW PROTECTION AND BAN ON COW SLAUTHR IS VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS PROMISED IN THE CONSTITUTION AND SO LET US REMOVE THAT ACT IMMEDIATELY
Triple Talaq is unconstitutional and GOD made One caste people from :
1) Head
2) ———
3) ———
4) ———
5) from Foot
this is not Unconstitutional ha-ha what a joke Minister Ji .
triple Talaq is unconstitutional and your guys said GOD made SC/ST from Foot is not unconstitutional, where you are making corers of people untouched and barred from entry into temple and house and behave with them worst than animal, always discriminated against them is not UNCONSTITUTIONEL.
you can see few example very recently in past where SC/ST have beaten like they don’t have any value or dignity.
Laws on divorce may or may not allow Triple Talaq based on the rational interpretations of the Quran and hadith traditions and the laws by the Indian Government or the Indian Ummah based Islamic Courts or bodies may prevent triple Talaq
But the greater issue is once a married couple ( husband or wife) have started hating each other, suspicious of each other’s honesty and chastity and have made up their minds to break off relations no matter what, then the law preventing Triple Talaq and forcing them to give a gap of say three months or so may not work effectively in most of the cases.
Preventing instant Talaq may be a stop gap temporary measure and the long lasting solution is firmer Eeman, stronger taqwa and the fear that in Islam divorce is the one thing that Allah has allowed but the same thing that shakes Allahs Arsh
By nature and disposition we come across people both men and women falling into many categories, some are tough, jealous, oppressive, insecure and some are even adulterous and such issues grow into irreconciliable differences and lead to a quick or delayed divorce
My friend please try to understand that Allah is offering 3-tire clear instructions about (1) happy married life tips (2) prevention of talaaq tips (3) systematic implementation of tallaq/ patch-up post talaaq. All these instructions are not known by 99.99% of Muslims. Our ulemas do not do any research on this, they do not know their social responsibilities, they have failed to educate community on this hot topic. Also the community members do not do try to know the teachings from Holy Qur’aan.
All Muslims should definitely read with translation at least first four chapters of the Holy Qur’aan. If community starts this then community will find answer majority of all their problems including matrimonial.
While giving any instructions, Allah creates fear of punishment in Hell. Verse (4:1) of the holy Qur’aan is the foundation stone of family. In this particularly, Allah reminds about fear of Allah, two times, one at the beginning and another at the end.
Stage by stage implementation of Talaaq is divine instruction in the Holy Qur’aan. In exceptional circumstances, like a person has seen his wife in somebody’s bed or any similar situation, if a person resorts to instant Triple Talaaq that may be acceptable.
Talaaq is a legal process of separation; it’s a relief for unlucky men and women. In other communities, there is no such relief. They have to take the help of parliamentary legislations. Even though the rate of divorces is comparatively very much less among Muslims say 0.116% only, among hindus its 3.5%, still big hue and cry is there about “Triple Talaaq”.
