Pro Talaq

All India Muslim Personal Board-> Opposing SC- SC trying to indulge in

judicial legislation in the name of 'socially reforming' Islamic practices
of marriage and divorce. Holy Koran are out of bounds for SC.
Personal laws of a community cannot be rewritten in the name of social
reforms. Practices of one religion should not be compared with other religion.
Court cannot supplant its own interpretations over the text of scriptures.
Talaq only after mutual consensus.

Con Talaq and UCC

Patriarchal non representative body, common civil code- false pretense of
nationalism
No religious conception have veto over the transformative promise of
constitution.
Debate should not be over one community's virtues versus other. It should
be closing the gap between freedom and equality and social practice.
Something must not be imposed on one if they do not consent on it. Freedom
from another community cannot be the freedom to oppress them within.
