Till Talaq Do Us Part

Shayara Bano knocked at the doors of the Supreme Court to challenge her husband’s sudden decision of ending their marriage using the three dreaded words: talaq, talaq, talaq. A 1980s Bollywood movie sparked off a national debate on the validity of instant divorce, which even saw Dawat- a four-page daily published by the Jamaat-e-Islami Hind-talking about triple talaq as per the Quran. For a long time, the battle against instant talaq has garnered public attention. In Till Talaq Do Us Part , Ziya Us Salam, an eminent social commentator and an associate editor at Frontline , presents a holistic view of how divorce works in Islam. Ranging from triple talaq to talaq granted over three months to khula and talaq-e-tafweez , the book also discusses other methods of divorce available to a Muslim couple which go ignored thanks to all the attention on talaq, talaq, talaq.
