New Delhi: The BJP-led Union Government on Monday tabled the Triple Talaq Bill during the Winter Session of the Lok Sabha. The bill needs legislative approval after being passed as an ordinance in September. The Government had promulgated the ordinance after the bill failed to pass in the Rajya Sabha during the Monsoon session.
While the bill was being tabled, a huge uproar erupted in the Lok Sabha over the Rafale deal and the house was adjourned till 2 pm.
The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill, 2018 seeks to penalize the practice of instant triple talaq or talaq-e-biddat through which Muslim men divorce their wives by uttering the word ‘Talaq’ three times in quick succession.
On September 19, the Union Cabinet had passed the ordinance to amend provisions of the Triple Talaq Bill, which was later signed by President Ram Nath Kovind.
