VARANASI A group of Muslim women on Wednesday recited the Hanuman Chalisa 100 times at the Lord Hanuman Temple on the premises of the Patalpuri Mutt in Varanasi, seeking an end to the practice of triple talaq.
Led by Nazneen Ansari, the Muslim women who recited the Hanuman Chalisa included Taslima Bharatvanshi, Rizwana, Shaqila, Rehana, Bilkis Begum, Seema Begum, Sahana, Gudia Qureshi and Najma Parveen. Hindu women joined them during the recital.
Ansari said, “The practice of triple talaq should come to an end.
It is believed that the chanting the Hanuman Chalisa 100 times makes wishes come true. So we chanted Hanuman Chalisa to seek an end to triple talaq which has troubled several Muslim women. We will continue our fight against triple talaq.”
She expressed confidence that Lord Hanuman will liberate Muslim women from triple talaq.
