NEW DELHI — Based on the unfortunate experience of broken family life, Mehbooba Mufti, former chief minister of Jammu & Kashmir said on Monday that Triple Talaq Bill will create more problems for Muslim women as it will disturb the family structure among Muslims.
Speaking at a press conference in Srinagar, Mehbooba Mufti said that since she personally faced the problems of a broken marriage, she thought it important that she should speak up on the issue.
“After separation from her husband, the biggest problem for the woman is to raise her children. By bringing in the Triple Talaq bill, the BJP is entering our homes. This will disturb our family life and there will be more problems for women and men economically,” Mehbooba Mufti said, reports IANS.
“I have gone through a broken marriage and I feel that women face the biggest challenge economically after her marriage fails,” she said.
Accusing the BJP government of dividing India on religious and sectarian lines, Mehbooba said: “The bill is the second assault on Muslims after the financial onslaught against them through bans on mutton and leather industries.”
Condemning the doublespeak od the BJP Mehbooa Mufti said: “When we talk about reservations for Muslims, the BJP rejects it on religious lines. But when it comes to this kind of law, they run to Parliament,” she said.
She called for a consensus on the issue adding that Muslims always abide by the law.
