ABSTRACT:
This research paper delves into the knowledge level of Muslim men in the Twin City of Chhattisgarh, India, regarding the procedure of divorce as per the Quran, shedding light on the prevalent issue of Triple Talaq (Talaq-e-biddat) and its implications on Muslim women. The study examines the awareness and understanding of different forms of divorce sanctioned by the Quran, namely Talaq-e-ahasan, Talaq-e-hasan, and Talaq-e-biddat.
The findings reveal that a majority of the respondents are familiar with only one approved form of divorce, with Talaq-e-ahasan being the most recognized. This lack of awareness about alternative divorce forms, including Talaq-e-biddat, is a critical concern, as Triple Talaq is a major problem in the Muslim community. The research also highlights the limited understanding among respondents regarding the compensation provided to divorced women after Talaq, particularly the concept of Meher. The study underscores the need for education and awareness programs within the Muslim community to empower individuals, especially women, with knowledge about Islamic divorce procedures. Social workers, in collaboration with religious leaders and NGOs, can play a pivotal role in bridging this knowledge gap. Additionally, the research shows that some respondents perceive Triple Talaq as permissible under certain circumstances, reinforcing the importance of clarifying what is approved in the Holy Quran. The paper emphasizes that empowering women with knowledge, advocating for their rights, and addressing the insufficiency of Meher are vital steps to improve the status of Muslim women in India. Furthermore, it calls for a more comprehensive understanding of Islamic divorce procedures among the Muslim community and encourages collaborative efforts to ensure justice and gender equality. While this research mainly focuses on the knowledge level of Muslim men regarding Quranic divorce, it highlights the significance of assessing their knowledge regarding the Triple Talaq Act 2019. The study underscores the need for such awareness campaigns to facilitate social change and uplift the status of Muslim women. In conclusion, this research paper provides insights into the knowledge gap surrounding Islamic divorce procedures among Muslim men in Chhattisgarh, India, and emphasizes the importance of empowering individuals with accurate information and advocating for women's rights within the context of Triple Talaq.
