The triple talaq bill will uphold women’s dignity The main argument advanced in Lok Sabha against the proposed bill to make instant triple talaq a punishable offence was prefaced by the assertion that opposition to the introduction of the bill does not mean defence of the triple talaq. Instead, the bill was opposed because it seeks to conflate the civil and the criminal laws. This statement betrays total ignorance about the history of how triple talaq, despite being bad in religion, became good in law. Even the Muslim Personal Law Board, in its affidavit submitted in Supreme Court (SC) in Shayara Bano case, has admitted that this form of divorce is a departure from the procedure sanctioned by the Quran and Prophetic traditions), an unjust, sinful and prohibited act. In fact, the Personal Law Board had agreed with almost all the religious and legal grounds on which the petitioners had argued that the practice of triple talaq deserves to be outlawed. The only point of difference was that the Personal Law Board had challenged the jurisdiction of the SC to intervene in this matter. But at the same time, the board had given an undertaking, through an additional affidavit, that the members themselves shall start a campaign against the practice of triple talaq, will suitably amend the model marriage contract and give a call to boycott those who resort to triple talaq. But later it became clear that all these assurances were meant to be tactical to persuade the court not to give its verdict and leave this matter wholly to this body of clerics.It is important to remember that the Personal Law Board had initially welcomed the judgment of the SC but a few days later at its session at Bhopal the board made highly critical remarks and went to the extent of saying that notwithstanding the SC verdict, the practice of triple divorce shall continue as before. The assertion made by Personal Law Board proved to be right. In a short period of three months, more than 100 cases of triple talaq were reported from all over the country. In all these cases the women were instantly thrown out of their marital homes and the board did not think it right to come to their rescue by explaining to the community that this form of divorce, which in any case is bad in religion, has also become bad in law. The board did not give any call for social boycott - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara of these offenders. Editor

New Delhi : Spot gold jumped to a five-year high of $1,410 an ounce on hopes that the US Federal Reserve would cut interest rates later this year. In the latest US Fed policy meeting last week, the US central bank hinted an interest rate cut if the economic outlook weakens. Gold has been trading on a positive note for the last four weeks on growing geopolitical concerns and weak economic releases from the US and China that lifted its safe-haven appeal. A weak global growth forecast amid growing trade war tensions also stoked investors towards the yellow metal.

2013.After the Fed’s dovish comments, the US greenback slid to a one-week low that pushed up the dollardenominated gold. Weak economic release too weighed down the US currency. Lower interest rates usually decrease the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like bullion. Gold usually trades higher during times of economic or political uncertainties. This was due to lower domestic prices due to a strong rupee and a surge in Indian jewellery demand during the traditional gold-buying wedding season. Meanwhile, gold buying for investment purposes has recorded a decline in the last quarter. Looking ahead, the ongoing US-China trade frictions are likely to put more strain on the global economy, which continue to support gold’s safe-haven appeal. A volatile dollar, worries over US Fed’s policy decisions, and the on-going tensions in the Middle East are likely to keep sentiments higher.
