The July 4 meeting of the All-India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) in Lucknow has once againhighlighted the vexed issue of reforms in Muslim Personal Law (MPL). Hopes had been raised that the AIMPLBwould finally and explicitly outlaw the practice of triple talaq, which is one of the major concerns ofthe advocates of reform. The AIMPLB, dominated as it is by conservative ‘ulama, however, did not, inits wisdom, choose to do so.
