In a first, the All India Muslim Personal Law Board today decided to form a women's wing to look into burning issues such as talaq, even as it passed a resolution in favour of triple talaq.
The resolution passed at the AIMPLB's three-day convention, which concluded today, stated that the government was infringing into the personal laws of Muslims.
The women's wing would also deal with other issues like family disputes and education, AIMPLB secretary Zafaryab Jellani told a press conference here after the convention.

It decided to launch an all-India Muslim women helpline, a toll free call centre in Urdu, English and eight regional languages to counsel and guide Muslim women on family disputes to go to the Darul-Qaza.
"It has been decided for the first time that we will form a women's wing to go into issues concerning Muslim women and an all-India Muslim women helpline, a toll-free call centre in Urdu English and 8 regional language," Kamal Farooqi, a member of AIMPLB said.
"It seems that the government is bringing up this isssue of Triple Talaq and Uniform Civil Code ahead of Uttar Pradesh polls in order to communally polarise people and reap political dividends," he said.
The AIMPLB said it wanted to be the part of a discussion with the government, though the government did not bother to hear their views.
