A senior Muslim RSS functionary told the Hindustan Times that a June meeting will conclude plans to stop the ¡®triple talaq¡¯. ¡°Just as registration of births and deaths is mandatory, marriages and divorces should also be compulsorily registered. Our religion does not allow a man to end a marriage by merely repeating talaq thrice. There is a provision for counseling,¡± said Shehnaz Afzal, head of the women¡¯s wing of MRM.

The RSS has been demanding a uniform civil code for many years, and it was also a part of the BJP manifesto.
The triple talaq finds reference in Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) Application Act, 1937, but many claim it has been misinterpreted: ¡°There can be no nikah without the presence of a lawyer and two witnesses, how is it then that a marriage can end with no such obligation? In the name of religion, women are being discriminated.¡±
