Do Shariah Courts serve Muslim women or portray male chauvinism?
Even
if the demand of Shariah Court is increasing in Bengal, another reality is also
coming to the fore – Muslim women even after moving to Shariah Councils for
annulment of marriage, owing to excessive domestic violence or inhuman tortures
by their husbands, remain helpless.
Many
instances prove that albeit they become able to have divorce, the triumph turns
out to be a Pyrrhic victory altogether – women are forced to part with their
own children as the Shariah Councils never allow any divorcee to live with her
children thereafter.
This
is not any local or regional phenomenon but Muslim women whether in Dhaka or
Kolkata or even London do face the same grim reality.
