A five-judge bench of the Supreme Court on Tuesday in a split verdict ruled that the practice of instant triple talaq in the Muslim community is unconstitutional. The bench, headed by Chief Justice of India J S Khehar, set aside the practice by a majority of 3:2.<\/p>\n
While CJI Khehar and Justice S Abdul Nazeer upheld the practice of triple talaq, Justices Kurian Joseph, R F Nariman and U U Lalit held that the practice needs to be abolished.<\/p>\n
Today in an interview with indianexpress.com, veteran actor and Member of Parliament Hema Malini lauded the government and the Supreme Court for the decision.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a nice thing that has happened. I am happy that my government has got it done. Verdict against triple talaq was a necessity for Muslim women. I am also doing a lot of work with Muslim women in Mathura. With this verdict, women empowerment and equality of genders is promised. We are working towards this goal, and with Narendra Modi helming our government, I am sure it will happen,\u201d said Hema Malini.<\/p>\n
Along with expressing happiness about the verdict, Malini also took an opportunity to share a few things she does in her Lok Sabha constituency Mathura.<\/p>\n
The sixty-eight-year-old actor said, \u201cThere are so many Muslim communities there. This time during Eid, I spent a good amount of time with them and we celebrated Eid with a lot of fervour. I am for everybody, not for one particular community, and I have always said that in my speeches too, that our government is not for any one particular sect, but for all irrespectively. We are here to support each and every one with humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hema Malini is also promoting Indian dance forms all over the world. The \u2018Dream Girl\u2019 of Bollywood has invited Sukhishvili (Georgian National Ballet) to India after fifty years.
