Bhatkal 21 March 2018: Majlis-e-Islah wa Tanzeem on Wednesday led a protest by local women against the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act 2017 saying the ball was passed in haste in the Lok Sabha.
A number of women turned out for the protest with different placards into their hands against the triple-talaq bill, demonstrating the solidarity of the Muslim women on the issue, and submitted a memorandum to the President of India through the Assistant Commissioner. The memorandum also condemned the approach of the present government and mentioned that they are ‘deeply hurt’ by the statement of the Hon’ble President in his recent joint parliamentary where he said “Muslim women were captured to political cause” and this bill will “emancipate” them and give a life of Honour and dignity”, saying such remarks are direct insult and attack to the largest minority community of the country.

The memorandum further stated that the bill is anti-social as the civil contract is penalized converting civil matter into criminal offence.
It also stated “ We reject this bill and appeal to take back this bill as it is against the Constitution of India and against Women’s Rights and Gender Justice.
The memorandum put forth two demands to the president of India
