I am highly pleased to read about the above subject , written by Asgar Ali Engineer! Very likely, our country still follows the rule of the Indian subcontinent, constituted before 1945! Therefore we would expect our law authorities to give importance to the Indian rule modification, as well!

I appraise the writer's expressions quoting verses from the Holy Koran. Our nation highly values the religious rules in any regard! Including all his explanation, I am very much satisfied with his very last sentence, "If the women suffer, after all, half of the umma suffers, and the holy book does not permit injustice in any case"

But, the honourable writer has not clearly mentioned the "reasons" of uttering talaq! Can he clarify these to me, a citizen having no knowledge about the existing laws? Please do!
