On Monday afternoon the city witnessed something baffling to the extent of disbelief. More than 20,000 Muslim women hit the streets of Mumbra and conducted a silent protest march from 2 pm to 5 pm against the scrapping of the bill that criminalises talaq-e-biddat. Even as triple talaq continues to be one of the most debatable practices of the community, what these women want is that their husbands not be punished with a jail term of three years for it.
