Mehbooba mentioned that Muslims accepted the SC verdict on Triple Talaq unlike what happened during the Sabrimala verdict.
Democracy is not run through brute majority, it is about consensus . Muslims accepted the decision of SC on invalidity of Triple Talaq , unlike the Sabarimala verdict . Best is to empower Muslim women to be able to face the world independently in case of a breakup .
