TALAK IN 21ST CENTURY : CUSTOM OR SUPERSTITION

Dr. Sudhansu Ranjan Mahapatra, Shreemanshu Kumar Dash

Abstract :

 The ongoing practice of talak makes the conscious citizens of the Muslim as well as non-Muslim communities think more and speak less on the subject. Talak is said to have its origin from the holy Quran. The Quran is the primary source of Islamic law, as it contains the entire fundamental directives and instructions of God. The Sunnah is the second source of Islamic law. Sunnah which means ‘Method’, refers to the statements, actions and agreements of the prophet Mohammad. Indian Muslim personal laws are based upon the Shariat Act, 1937 which is thus partially applied in India and laws and legal judgments adapting and adjusting Sharia for Indian society. The Muslim personal law is, thus an Act with a splendid blend of both divine and human acts. Acts which are divine are discerned to be objective where as human acts, so as not to impair the social faic, often require repairing for their being subjective as has been in one of the cases like the case of Talak
