3 Seconds Divorce

An age- old practice allows Muslim men in India to divorce their wives unilaterally by simply stating the word talaq that stands for divorce three times consecutively. The only way for a couple to live together after this is for the woman to perform halala . Halala requires the divorced woman to get married to another man and get divorced again after the new marriage is consummated. The entire process leaves no space for a woman s agency nor does it establish any rights for her. Frustrated with lack of initiative from the government or religious leaders to stop this; Muslim women in India organise and start a movement to reclaim their religious and constitutional rights. 3 Seconds Divorce tell this story through the journey of Lubna - a present day activist and former victim of triple-divorce who makes personal sacrifices to continue her activism. The documentary also provides a behind the scene glimpse at the growing Indian Muslim women s movement as it navigates between orthodox Muslim leadership and a polarized political environment in India. 3 Seconds Divorce is a 2018 English-language Documentary film. 3 Seconds Divorce was released on 6th July 2019.
