is no ceiling on the number of

mute marriages that may be


contracted by a Muslim male.
In the
matter of divorce, the position
of the Muslim women is the
most inferior and insecure
compared to
others, particularly the method
of divorcing the wife by the
husband by pronouncing triple
"Talak"
is highly discriminatory. This is
despite the clear mileage of
holy Quran which discourages
"Talalc-
UI-Sunnat" and "Talac-ul-
Biddat" because the right of the
husband to divorce his wife is
unilateral
and unfettered .
Recently, the Allahabad high
court held that the practice of
the triple tasks is unlawful and
void. In
the matter of succession. A
Muslim woman is discriminated
against, despite the assertion of
certain
scholars that Islam in this
regard is more progressive and
liberal. The legal position is that
when two
sharers or reliquaries of the
opposite sex but the same
degree inherit the property of
the deceased,
the Muslim male gets twice the
share of the female. For
example, if brother and sister
inherit the
property as successors, the
brother receives two shares,
whereas the sister gets only one
claim.
PROPERTY RIGHTS OF
MUSLIM WOMEN
The Shariat Act, 1937 the
Muslims in India were governed
by Customary laws which were
highly
unjust and were against women.
After the Shariat Act, 1937
Muslims in India came to be
handled in
their matters, including property
laws, by Muslim personal law.
But this did not make any
major
changes in the property
rights of women. Under
Muslim rule, men and
women have equal
ownership of inheritance. If a
Muslim male die and his heirs
include both male and female,
both
will inherit the property
simultaneously. But a man's
share of the inheritance is
double that of a
woman in the same degree of
relationship to the deceased.
The quantum of property
inherited by a
female heir is half of the
property given to a male of
equal status. It is a manifest
sample of unequal
treatment of woman under
Muslim law.
CONCLUSION
It's high time that we as a
society think seriously about the
disparity in the rights of the
women are
no less than men in any way so
they should be treated equally.
The change starts from home
itself,
and one needs to treat the girl
and boy equally. Parents in
ignorance themselves many
times make
their daughters feel that they are
inferior to the sons; statement,
like it's not safe to be out
sundown
applies only to women and not
men. It's grilled into their mind
early on that their existence
without
a man in the society is highly
challenging and to quite an
extent not acceptable in society.
Hence,
they are given away in marriage
when they are young and are
unaware of the consequence of
the
wedlock that might or might not
work in their favour. The need
of the hour is to use from both
within and without, within here
would imply to educating and
empowering the women at the
family
level and without would mean
to the laws that would go in
favour of women so that there
arises no
such question of discrimination.
