Nida Khan

Nida Khan is a prominent women rights activist in India. After her experience with a Triple Talaq, she was encouraged to fight for the rights of Muslim women.[1][2][3] A Fatwa was issued by a Shahar Imam Mufti Khurshid Alam calling for social boycott of Khan for speaking out against Islamic practices.[4]

Nida khan got married on 18/02/2015, after which she was pressured for dowry. While taking her masters exam, she was dragged away from the examination by her husband from examination center due to which she was given title of “Indian Malala”. Her husband beat her so badly she had a miscarriage and she subsequently has called her ex-husband her child's "murderer".[5] Her husband gave her a triple talaq or an instant divorce and she was kicked out of the home on July 17 of 2015.[5] After her ex-husband threatened her in May of 2016 after telling the family of someone he was going to marry about her experience, Khan decided to take the matter to the police. Police refused to register it and only did so after a court order.

She has now started a non-profit called Ala Hazrat Helping Society which helps muslim women deal with issues of triple talaq, domestic violence, polygamy and other cultural practices.[5]

Excommunication

Shahar Imam Mufti Khurshid Alam dismissed Khan from Islam for speaking out against a practice he argues is permissible in the Qu'ran. He declared:

"No medicines will be provided if she falls ill. If she dies, no one is allowed to offer ‘namaz’ on her ‘zanaja’ (funeral procession). She cannot be buried in kabristan (graveyard) after her death...Nida wants an amendment in Shariah while Islamic laws were made by Allah. As Nida has been giving statements against Quran and Hadith, she is dismissed from Islam."[2]

She has since stated, “No one can ostracise me from Islam. Only Allah can decide who is guilty.”[3] Khan has the support of many women and is protected by two gunmen.[1]
