Sambhal (UP), May 5 (PTI) A small group of Muslims living in this Uttar Pradesh district has banned the practice of triple talaq at one go. The Turk group will also consider it a husbands fault if a case of triple talaq at one go is reported before the panchayat. The decision was yesterday taken in a meeting of the Turk group, which has about 50,000 members living in 50 villages of this Sambhal district. Asrar Ahmed, who presided over the panchayat meeting, termed the practice of triple talaq at one go as wrong and said the community has decided to do away with it. If someone divorces his wife by uttering talaq thrice, then the panchayat will punish him, Ahmed warned.
