I am proud of Quran as Quranic guidelines on divorce are the best: MP Ranjeeta Ranjan

New Delhi,Dec 28: Ranjeeta Ranjan the  Lok Sabha Member of Congress from Supaul in Bihar, not only opposed the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill, 2018, in strongest words but also  said that due to this bill, she read Quran and its teachings about divorce and found its divorce rules are strongest and best in the world muslimmirror reported.

Speaking in the House, Congress leader Ranjeeta Ranjan said: “I would like to thank you because it made me read the relevant provisions in Quran then detail. I respect Quran because it has very well developed rules for divorce. You are under the illusion that Muslim women will vote for you because you pass this vote. You tell me one provision in this bill that will safeguard the interests of women.”

“I am proud of Quran. Women have equal rights for divorce as men have. It talks about how relations of two persons and two families are to be maintained. Quran tries to stop divorce through five steps…there cannot be stronger law for divorce than Quran’s,” said Ranjeeta while participating in the debate over the bill.

She said that if government is insisting on law to regulate Muslim divorce, then it should adopt Quranic rules because they are best and whole Muslim community will accept it.

“If you anyway want to bring law over the issue of Triple Talaq, then I would suggest you to read Quran carefully and enact its divorce rules, whole Muslim community would accept it. You are just playing with the issue of Muslim women. There should not be Hindu-Muslim divide over atrocities of women and domestic issues,” she added.
