The issue of triple talaq is basically a human rights issue more than an issue concerning women. That is why it has been done away with by legislation in many Muslim countries. This is a practice prevalent among a minority community and when any change is brought about in a climate where the party in power has a strong ideology, the move is bound to be viewed politically. Therefore, it is better that the change is brought about by enlightened Muslim organisations and strong women’s movements The issue may be constitutional but political realities also cannot be ignored.
