Cabinet clears bill that makes 'INSTANT triple talaq' a criminal offence

New Delhi, Dec 15: The government on Friday approved a draft law under which the practice of giving instant triple talaq would be made illegal and void and would attract a jail term of three years for the husband, a government functionary has said.

The draft 'Muslim Women Protection of Rights on Marriage Bill' was considered by the Union cabinet which gave its nod, the functionary said.

The draft was prepared by an inter-ministerial group headed by Home Minister Rajnath Singh. The other members included External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad and his junior in the ministry P P Chaudhary.

The proposed law would only be applicable on instant triple talaq or 'talaq-e-biddat' and it would give power to the victim to approach a magistrate seeking "subsistence allowance" for herself and minor children.

Excellent. At least now Muslim women will get freedom. They must be eternally grateful to sarva shaktiman modiji and consider him as a messiah. All Hindu men should express solidarity with aggrieved Muslim women and help those muslim women who were affected by triple talaq. I heard that Muslim women from middle east also planning to migrate to india after coming to know about this bill.
