While the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi and his government, TV channels and the supreme Court are all happy about the passing of the bill against ‘regressive’ practice of triple talaq, here are some facts that put the issue in perspective.
- The Census of 2011 had put the divorce rate among Muslims at 0.56% (0.76% among Hindus)
- Neither the government nor the Law Commission has conducted any survey on the extent of triple talaq among Indian Muslims.
- The only known surveys have been conducted by the Bharatiya Muslim Mahila Andolan (BMMA), which claim the divorce rate among Muslims to be as high as 11% as opposed to the Census.
- The discrepancy could be because the two surveys done by BMMA covered 4,710 Muslim women from 10 states in one survey and 117 Muslim women from eight states in the second.
