All India Muslim Personal Law Board to constitute committee to study Supreme Court’s verdict on triple talaq
Bhopal: The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) on Sunday decided to constitute a committee that will study the Supreme Court verdict on triple talaq in detail and find a solution to the conflict between the judgement and Shariat, said a media report.
Zafaryab Jilani, a member of AIMPLB and counsel for the board, told a leading media house that the idea was floated in board’s first round of meeting on Sunday. The committee will have lawyers and religious scholars, who will scrutinize the verdict from the legal as well as Islamic perspective. All 45 members attending the meeting agreed to the formation of this panel, he was quoted as saying by the media report.
The committee will submit its detailed report to the board in ten days’ time based on which the board will take the future course of action, Maulana Wali Rahmani told the media house.
Earlier in the day, Syed Qasim Rasool Ilyas, AIMPLB member and member of Jamaat Ulma said, “We are considering filing a review petition against the verdict. We need to check the points the judges have made in our favour and what is held against us and then accordingly approach the apex court with a review petition.”
During a precursory meeting on Saturday, AIMPLB refuted the observation made by the Supreme Court that since triple talaq is sinful, it can’t be lawful. The personal law board further claimed that they will continue to practise Shariat, which provides for instant triple talaq.
