| Saying "talaq" thrice consecutively is against Sunnah: CII chairman |
| 2015-01-22 |
| [NATION.PK] The Council of Islamic Ideology today recommended punishment for people who say 'divorce' three times consecutively. "Saying the word talaq thrice consecutively is against the Sunnah," Mohammad Khan Sherani said, who chaired the meeting. The council proposed numerous resolutions regarding the matter. Men easily can obtain a divorce by declaring their intention three times. A woman, however, usually needs the pronouncement of a Moslem judge. Religious experts and researchers were present during the meeting. The council had suggested that the divorce sought by a woman would go into effect if the husband fails to respond within three months. The recommendations sparked a quarrel as religious scholars criticized the Council for Islamic Ideology of misinterpreting the Shariat laws. |
