Speaker: Shazia Javed (film producer)
Film screening of Three-Second Divorce, a documentary of the human story of sharia divorce. The film trailer can be found here. Ms Javed will be in conversation with Dr Kriti Kapila to discuss the film.
'A sharia practice allows muslim men to divorce their wives by simply saying the word 'divorce' three times in one go. Commonly called triple-talaq or triple-divorce, this instant, oral divorce can only be given by men. In India, muslim women have been fighting an arduous battle to get this practice legally abolished. This is their story.'
The screening will be held in the Small Committee Room on Strand Campus.
