If we believe sources then the central government is now planning to work over a clutch of petitions filed in the Supreme Court to declare “nikah halala” and polygamy “unconstitutional”. Like instant triple talaq scenario, the Centre would extend its support to petitioners when the matter comes up next in the Supreme Court.
Several women’s activists had earlier slammed Nikah halala and called it anti-women activity. As per this controversial practice, God forbids a divorced couple from remarrying until the woman marries someone else, consummates her new marriage and gets divorced or widowed.
Various activists have petitioned the SC to get it banned. However, Muslim Personal Law validates the practice of polygamy and nikah halala.
On the other end, Bharatiya Muslim Mahila Andolan, a voluntary organisation which successfully petitioned the SC against instant talaq, has also decided to join the petitioners who are seeking an end to nikah halala and polygamy.
