After all the hullabaloo regarding triple talaq, the practice that encourages verbal divorce, All India Muslim Personal Law Board said that they will revoke the law within 18 months but they demand no interference from the government.

"The triple talaq practice has ruined many Muslim families all over India till date. Gender equality and the dignity of women were non-negotiable and cannot break compromise. The board has decided to end the practice of triple talaq itself in 18 months, so the government should not interfere in the matter," Shiv Sena mouthpiece Saamna quoted Vice president of AIMPLB, Dr Sayeed Sadiq.

In the past, AIMPLB claimed that it received 3.50 crore forms from Muslim women who apparently supported Shariyar and triple talaq.

"We have received 3.50 crore forms in favour of Shariyat and triple talaq from Muslim women in the country and the number of women against these are very less," chief organizer of the AIMPLB's women wing Asma Zohra said while addressing a gathering of around 20,000 women at a workshop in Eidgah on April 9.

There will be a five-judge constitution bench of the Supreme Court that will start hearing petitions against triple talaq from May 11.

The court will hear pleas filed several Muslim women challenging the practice under which men can divorce their wives instantly by uttering the word talaq thrice.
