The Bharatiya Muslim Mahila Andolan (BMMA) on Thursday sought to highlight the laxity on part of the police to file and pursue complaints from women, who have been victims of triple talaq. Jannat Patel, Shabnam Sheikh, and Niloufer Moinuddin, who formed the panel, narrated their respective ordeals in getting the cops and courts to enforce the Muslim Women's Protection of Right on Marriage Act, 2019.

'Un-cooperative police'
The three women on the panel went on to specifically point out how the police and courts, both, were asking them to go in for mediation instead of treating their case as a criminal case. Patel, who is the first woman to file a complaint under the Muslim Women's Protection of Right on Marriage, said that the police initially refused to take her complaint, and when they finally did, the officer in charge was shifted to another police station.
