Muslim Rashtriya Manch (MRM), a body floated by Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS), is reportedly mulling over adopting minor children of Muslim women who are victims of “triple talaq”.
According to a report in The Economic Times, MRM national executive is likely to discuss a proposal in this regard during its meeting in Roorkee on Friday and Saturday.
The report says that the Bengal unit of the Muslim Rashtriya Manch has prepared a preliminary list of such children in several districts and has proposed to provide them free education.
Shahid Akhtar, convener of eastern states for MRM, told ET that his organisation is trying to build a fund for rehabilitation and studies of the children of Muslim women who are victims of “triple talaq”.
“We have received a proposal from the Bengal unit and some other states seeking scheme for children of women who have undergone triple talaq. We are trying to build a fund for rehabilitation and studies of the children of our Muslim sisters. The Bengal unit has proposed to provide free education to children free,” he said.
