Hailing the Supreme Court verdict on triple talaq on Tuesday, former Union Minister Arif Mohd Khan termed it a historic verdict and the kind of realistic assessment of the positive impact that this judgment will have on Muslim community.
“It will not only liberate Muslim women but also provide them with a sense of equality. It will provide them with a sense of empowerment. This verdict will bring about a paradigm shift and I foresee a changed scenario in the days when women will no longer accept instant talaq as a fait accompli. Empowered by the Supreme Court verdict, they will answer and retort back,” Khan, who has advocated abolishing of All India Muslim Personal law Board, said in a statement.
