The ongoing debate on Triple Talaq in our country has very little to do with women’s rights and everything to do with politics of polarisation.

The ongoing debate on Triple Talaq in our country has very little to do with women’s rights and everything to do with politics of polarisation. For BJP, it is a peg to push their agenda of uniform civil code. For All India Muslim Personal Law Board, it is about protecting their archaic anti-women rules. Either way, the debate which should be focussed on women and their rights, has pivoted to the narrow path of religious politics.
