SC decision on triple talaq: Asaduddin Owaisi insists on societal reforms

Hyderabad: AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi said that they had to respect the verdict of the Supreme Court.

While reacting on the verdict, he said there was a need for society to reform and that the AIMPLB would meet in Bhopal early next month to take a view on the apex court judgement on triple talaq.

Reacting to the Supreme Court majority judgment striking down the practice of triple talaq, he said, “Judicial pronouncements and law experience tell us that what is needed is that society should reform. Reform from the ground up should come from society.”

He pointed out that the courts would bring in social reforms which the AIMPLB was already doing from the ground up.

The AIMIM president said, “We have the Child Marriages Act to prevent child marriages but the ground reality is that reform should come from society.”
