Talaak…!!
Talaak…!! Talaak…!!
In recent days, #TripleTalaq
has been subject of prime discussion on various medias. The point of issue had
been “3 times Talaq” in Muslim culture is illegal and also unhuman that annoyed
everyone. In recent years, it has also been observed that divorce plea reaching
to various courts are increasing gradually and percentage of young couple approaching
courts for Divorce is quite alarming and worries most. However, this was
ignored by all.
The actual subject under
discussion would have been then Divorce, and not mere #TripleTalaq or the way
it is given. Talaq or Divorce is a family breaking statute ultimately in which husband
and wife are equally muffed, irrespective of religion. It would have been appropriate
to discuss and understand reasons behind spouses splitting whether in Hindu,
Muslims or any other religion.
The facts of a failed marriage
is neither disclosed nor accepted by either spouse. When a Muslim leaves his
wife by means of #TripleTalaq, this is said that “the husband is so unhuman”. On other hand, when wife goes to the
court seeking marriage to be dissolved, the step of woman is said logically
factual ultimately alleging in the same manner that “the husband is so unhuman”. In both situations, the guilt is basically
chucked on to husbands while wife walks out scout free considering that she is
innocent and weaker gender being female and is total misappropriation.
What happens between spouses
within four walls of house are better known only to them however these come to
surface only when matter reaches in court. The court looks in to allegations
& counter allegation between spouses and relates those to testimonies produced
and finally, concludes findings in its judgment. Then the only one to believe
is findings and verdicts of court because such opinions are based on all
materials produced there by respective spouses. To mention here, these spouses
are from all religions and even Muslims.
Though there could be many
such verdicts, however few verdicts must be referred that demonstrate totally
different reality…
In a divorce case, Supreme
Court found and stated that…. “She had been deliberately insulting and hurting her
husband and his family...... Leave alone the traditional obligations of
woman/wife in a Hindu society; even in a western family, such a behaviour is
bound to be treated as clear instance of a wife torturing her husband.”
The Madurai Bench of Madras
High Court stated in one of its judgment that… “Filing cases under the Domestic
Violence Act by female members has become a common one..... The notable flaw in
this law is that it lends itself to such easy misuse that women will find it
hard to resist the temptation to “teach a lesson” to their male relatives and
will file frivolous and false cases. A similar trend is already being observed
in the case of anti-dowry law (498-A), which is being misused to such an extent
that the Supreme Court has termed it ‘Legal Terrorism’.….”
It is then established rule
that initiation of false case against husband falls under cruelty and is
definite ground for Divorce. Also, as per Supreme Court’s ruling, wife staying
away from husband for quite a period without sufficient cause deserves a decree
of Divorce.
In fact, marriages are failing
because of many reasons. Husband and Wife imply a family and the house is their
fort. What happens within four walls of a house has its major impact on the
mind of the respective spouse. The relationship of a husband and wife is built
upon on mutual trust, devotion and confidence with each other. If the said
element of confidence and trust is lost, there can be absolutely no peace of
mind and no rapport between the two. When trust, peace and rapport between
spouses are lost, the love and affection between spouses also dies completely.
It is then that such bitter relationship between wife and husband ends as
Divorce or Talaak irrespective of religions.
Mixing up simple unwise sociological
perceptions or reactions and without considering hidden facts of the
trustworthy and personal relationship between husband and wife would not be
proper. A healthy relationship between wife and husband is important being the
elementary unit constructing a healthy society. With increasing instances of
divorce today, it is of prime interest of everyone to look into the reasons of
stressed relationship between spouses and to save the basic unit of heathy
society.
It is therefore prime
responsibilities of every sensible individual including media to notice the cause
of bitter relationship between spouses irrespective of religion. If the notable
steps are not taken even now, the bond between man and woman, two unique
species on the earth, will no longer exist and might result in total social
destruction.
