Hyderabad: With an aim to create awareness about ‘Sharia law’, the AIMPLB’s women wing started holding camps across Telangana.
Women scholars from the board are explaining the correct perspective of the Islamic laws to the women who are turning up in large numbers to attend the meet.
The AIMPLB has taken up the initiative to clear misconceptions in the minds of the community. The board felt the need for creating awareness about the Sharia after a few women approached the Supreme Court over the recent ‘triple talaaq’ issue. “There is confusion or ignorance about Islamic laws in the community, especially among women. They are not aware of the rights or about the procedures pertaining to several issues including talaaq. To help them understand the Islamic laws such programs are being organised at grass root level,” said Sabiha Siddiqui, AIMPLB executive committee member.
Apart from the Islamic laws, the board is also promoting the concept of simple marriages. “Families are spending a fortune on organising lavish weddings which are against the basic tenets of Islam,” she said.
