Blame it all on the Indian Penal Code and Votebank Politics guys. India Law is Separate for Muslims, Hindus and Christians.

@valaraukar...looks like Indian muslim (women) will have to keep waiting for Anniyan...
This talaq thing is really ridiculous & its getting more so everyday... recently a couple was pronounced as divorced because the husband said talaq in his sleep (if you ask me, the woman should have just kept quiet about it....the wife went & discussed it with some friend.....)
There is a lot of talk about reforming this particular part of muslim marriages....it's been just talk unfortunately....the men don't want this changed.....

Ya, I remember that Deepti, and for the couple to get back together, the wife had to have intercourse with another man and live with him for 100 days.
WTF.

Who's this anniyan you speak of ?
