Banning Triple Talaq? TV actors critique the decision

The Supreme Court has banned triple talaq, a Muslim Law by which men can divorce their wives by uttering Talaq three times. Our TV actors give their views on the judgement. 
Sehban Azim: Triple talaq is in Islam and cannot be amended…but the issue is not the law. Instead it’s all about how it's been practiced. In a lot of cases, it is seen that it is being misused. Nowhere in Islamic law does it state that Talaq is given just by saying it three times, there is a proper procedure that is to be followed, that takes 6-9 months. During this time, the couple is made to meet, sit together and rethink their decision. Once that span of time is over, and if both the individuals are still standing their grounds to get separated then the only talaq is viable. Until the end of this entire process, there's an option for the respective husband and wife to withdraw the entire process. So rather than creating a frenzy or making a hue and cry against Islamic laws or condemning them, the government needs to educate and spread awareness towards the right practice of talaq. 
Gunjan Utreja: I welcome this decision of the Supreme Court. Just because something has been going on for ages doesn't mean it holds true today, too. The constitution of a country is what binds everything and everyone together and if something is unconstitutional then it should be gone. 
Eijaz Khan: I think it's a smart and a perfect verdict for now. It's appalling how my community lacks educated and sensible leadership. I can understand the apprehensions faced by the older generation of Muslims regarding the decision. They feel that once anyone else starts meddling with Muslim laws, it will spread to other laws as well. I think anything that is unfair and discriminates on the basis of gender should be abolished. Why should there be even a second thought about it? It’s easy for me to sit here and complain about lack of educated leadership in my community, but I am hardly doing anything about it. So I don't think I have a right to complain but I guess eventually we have to come together to improve things. 
Sara Arfeen Khan: The Supreme Court’s decision by all means is good and will help those women who have been suffering because of this issue. The Quran has clear rules for how exactly a divorce should be fairly conducted in various situations. But since decades, the law of triple talaq has been modified by religious heads, according to their own convenience. This wasn't in accordance to the Quran and women had to pay the price. I am proud of this decision. 
Angad Hasija: I support the decision of the Supreme court. Marriage is for keeps and not breaking on the drop of a hat.  It surely is a positive step. One should understand the system well. I do have muslim friends and I respect every religion's traditions and customs. 

Mohammad Nazim: I believe more in my religion and than in the Supreme Court. Every religion has its own customs and beliefs. This idea that you can divorce someone just by uttering the word ‘Talaaq’ thrice is completely baseless. How can the Supreme Court interfere in a religion?  It is all politics. Divorce will only take place if you force someone to get married.  A Meher is written at the time of wedding so security is there after which a Nikaah gets sanctioned.  Just by speaking three words divorce doesn’t happen. There is proper procedure for divorce and it doesn’t happen in instant.
