All-India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) is scheduled to hold a meeting at 10 am on Sunday in Lucknow to discuss if the board will file a review petition regarding the apex court verdict on Ayodhya. 
 
Speaking to ANI, Maulana Sufian said, "Some of the groups have welcomed the Supreme Court's verdict. But we AIMPLB will hold a meeting at 10 am today to decide whether to review for the petition or not".

The cleric also informed ANI that a press conference will be held by the board at 3:30 pm to brief the media about the final decision. 
 
The Supreme Court on Saturday directed the Central government to hand over the disputed site at Ayodhya for the construction of a temple and set up a trust for the same. 
 
The apex court further directed the government to give a suitable plot of land measuring five acres to the Sunni Waqf Board. 
 
A five-judge constitution bench presided by Chief Justice Gogoi and comprising Justices SA Bobde, DY Chandrachud, Ashok Bhushan and S Abdul Nazeer passed the order on a batch of petitions against an order of the Allahabad High Court which trifurcated the site between the parties, Ramlalla Virajman, Sunni Central Waqf Board and Nirmohi Akhara. 
 
A decade-long legal dispute was fought by Hindu Mahasabha, a sect of Hindu monks Nirmohi Akhara and Sunni Waqf Board over 2.77 acres of land in Ayodhya.

Ayodhya verdict: Muslim Law Board to meet shortly, might file review petition

The body responsible for overseeing Islamic practice&nbsp;in India said those who give triple talaq without valid reasons or wantonly will face social boycott.

Amid intense pressure from rights groups, Muslim women and right-wing political parties, the All India Muslim Personal Law Board has backtracked from its previous stance of standing strong by the Islamic practice of triple talaq.

In Islamic law, a man can simply say talaq (divorce) to his wife to annul the marriage.&nbsp;

&quot;Those who give&nbsp;<a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/triple-talaq" pg="AS1_InlineMedia#AS1_Link#AS1_http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/triple-talaq-without-valid-reasons-not-allowed-says-muslim-personal-law-board/articleshow/58206689.cms">triple talaq</a>&nbsp;without reasons prescribed by the Sharia (reigious law) will face social boycott,&quot; AIMPLB said, reported PTI.

&quot;It has been decided in executive body meeting that those misusing triple talaq will face social boycott,&quot; The Times of India quoted AIMLPB&#39;s Maulana Khalid R Firangi as saying.

The board has also decided ensure the Islamic custom is practiced in the rarest of the rare case.

The constitutional validity of triple talaq is currently under review in India&#39;s Supreme Court.

Last year, a high court in India had said that the Islamic practice violated the equality of women.

Different sets of personal or family laws govern different religions in India. Personal laws for Muslims are partially based on the Sharia law.

The federal government had, earlier this week, told the Supreme Court that the practices of &#39;triple talaq&#39;, &#39;nikah halala&#39; and polygamy had an adverse impact on the social status and dignity of Muslim women and denied them the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution.

Rights activists and several Muslim women have also railed against the Islamic practice of triple talaq.

But several clerics and the AIMPLB have stoutly defended the custom, saying personal laws are outside the realms of the judiciary.

The Board said the validity of Mohammedan Law, founded essentially on the Holy Quran and sources based on it, cannot be tested on the particular provisions of the Indian Constitution.&nbsp;
