Right step

The practice of triple talaq cannot be stopped overnight. The All India Muslim Personal Law Board has no authority to scrap it by force of law. A certain amount of religious and cultural autonomy within the framework of the Indian Constitution should be granted to the Muslim community for all-round social reforms. The model nikahnama is a step in the right direction.

A.T.M. Anwar,
Hyderabad

The AIMPLB should examine the response and reactions expressed through the media on the model nikahnama. It should invite other learned persons for discussions until a solution is found.

Mohammed Abdul Khadeer,
Hyderabad

Laws are made for the betterment of the human race. They need to be modified according to the dictates of the prevailing social conditions.

Sharu Chandrasekar,
Chennai
