What was assailed by the Honourable Judge was not the infallibility or sanctity of Quran, Hadith or Sunna but a reprehensible practice which not being even remotely authenticated by any of the three, is being attached religious significance. Already under severe attack from and not adhered to by most of the segments of Islamic society , the concept of triple divorce ( Talaqe Bidat) does not fall amongst those pious Islamic institutions which, if criticised , may make the critic guilty of some blasphemous act. However, whether or not the judiciary is within its powers to call a spade a spade while dealing with an issue of religious denomination or whether or not the circumstances of the case did justify the disquisition on whole of Shariat law are not of much relevance for us at present.
A sense of restlessness, no doubt is visible in the Muslim community over the inertia displayed by mullas even under these strained circumstances in either unequivocally endorsing or disputing ‘Talaqe Bidat’ as the triple divorce is commonly known in Islamic parlance.Now when this monster, embellished as a bride is being taken to the Supreme Court, we must try to disclose its real Quranic identity and ascertain its legitimacy.
