JAIPUR: Prominent Muslim bodies have warned the central government against tampering with the Muslim personal laws, including triple talaq . The views came during the national conference on 'Shariat Bachao' held in Kota on Tuesday. The clerics from the different schools of Islam - jurisprudence, Sufi orders and schools of theology - came together to attend the conference.The clerics agreed that pronouncing triple talaq is a sin in Quran but is valid when possibility of amicably resolution of this matter becomes impossible. Mohammad Shafi, general secretary of Social Democratic Party of India , quoted the Census 2011 report that Muslims have the lowest rate of separated couples to justify the religious provision of triple talaq."In the Census report, the number of separated couples in other communities is much higher than in Muslims. It shows that couples in other religions are forced to live as 'separated couples' for years before the divorce becomes legal. Sometimes, it takes 10 years before a divorced male or female could remarry," said Shafi.Over 40,000 Muslims from Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Delhi attended the rally. KM Shareef, chairman of Popular Front of India , asked the representatives of other religions to join them in protecting the 'personal laws' of each other. "Almost all religions follow their own laws when it comes to marriage, divorce and succession of property. Why Muslims are being singled out by the regime at the Centre," asked Shareef. The clerics directed the crowd to spread the message that Muslim couples should first consult the matter with their families and maulanas before taking the extreme step of pronouncing talaq thrice. Saying that the condition of Muslim women in India is far better than in other countries, Yasmeen Faraqui, head of Women India Movement , stated that the sex ratio is one of the main parameters which reflect the social condition of women."Here, I am glad that Muslim sex ratio is better than the national average. Divorce is any form is a sin and efforts are being made to educate the married couples, young boys and girls," said Faraqui who has been a counsellor for years at a family court.
