Hyderabad: Muslim organisations on Thursday announced to conduct campaign to educate Muslim masses on personal law, especially on issues of marriage, and talaq. Sharia Faisla Board, an umbrella body floated by various Muslim groups, has conducted a meeting to discuss the future course of action in this regard.

Tahreek Muslim Shabban head Mushtaq Malik , on this occasion, said that this decision was taken in the back drop of Supreme Court ruling on Triple Talaq recently.

He said, ``Muslim Personal Law Board’’ has welcomed the decision on Triple Talaq, but our aim is to educate the Muslim masses as to what is the personal law and what is the importance of Sharia.”

The SC has pronounced its ruling based on the central government’s affidavit which in turn was based on wrong inputs about the Triple Talaq and its prevalence in the community.

All the four major schools of thoughts amongst Muslims in India believe that Talaq occurs in one sitting though this has not been in practice in many Muslim countries currently. He said that the issue can be further referred to the larger bench of Supreme Court. “If Muslim Personal Law Board does not approach the larger bench , we may do it”, he clarified.

As part of the awareness programme, corner meetings, congregations and training programmes will be conducted by the Sharia Faisla Board across Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. Different Muslim groups will use Muftis, Madrasas and their cadre for the awareness programmme, it was stated.
