“Marriages are not made in heaven in Islam” says Shabana Azmi

Veteran actress, Shabana Azmi took twitter to criticise Islamic agreement of marriage calling it a “contract” rather
Published August 30, 2017 Updated September 5, 2017

Veteran actress, Shabana Azmi took twitter to criticise Islamic agreement of marriage calling it a “contract” rather than a bond made in heaven.

Recently Indian Supreme Court pronounced a ruling against the ‘triple talaq’ which Bollywood’s yester year actress rejoiced and gladly appreciated. But Shabana Azmi tweet on Tuesday criticising Islamic rules of marriage shocked a lot of people.

The social activist and NGO supporter’s tweet didn’t go so well with a most of the social media users and the actress faced a lot of backlash.

When the verdict on triple talaq had ruled out, Shabana Azmi said: “The fight against triple talaq has been waged by very brave Muslim women such as Bhartiya Muslim Mahila Andolan members. They have brought the issue centre stage. So when, in 2016, Shayara Bano petitioned the Supreme Court to challenge the constitutionality of the practices of triple talaq, nikah halala and polygamy, several women’s groups emerged from the community such as Awaaz-e-Niswaan, Sahiyar, Muslim Mahila Manch, Pehchan, Muhim, Parvaaz Sangathan, and, more recently, Bebaak Collective.”

Further adding, “They joined forces and articulated a new radical politics, at one with progressive and feminist groups. It was a demonstration of the support system created by the women’s movement over the past three decades. The Supreme Courts judgement against instant triple talaq is a welcome measure .Triple talaq in one go does not have religious sanction and is patently unjust and anti-women. More than 20 Muslim countries have banned it and it has no place in secular India” Bollywood Bubble reported.
