#TripleTalaq

The Modi government has approved an ordinance making triple talaq — a practice of instant divorce among sections of the Muslim population — a punishable offence.

The ordinance is based on the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill, which was passed by the Lok Sabha last year, but faced stiff resistance from the opposition in the Rajya Sabha, where it was argued that the bill be sent to a ‘select committee’ for examination.

According to the bill, the practice of triple talaq was to be made a cognisable and non-bailable offence with up to three years of imprisonment — a move which several opposition leaders alleged would target Muslim men more than it would benefit Muslim women.
