New Delhi, December 28: As we knew that, The Lok Sabha on Thursday passed the triple talaq bill and all amendments to it were defeated.
The Bill witnessed a heated discussion. The Congress said it's going to support it with conditions.
"Triple talaq" is the Islamic practice of men divorcing their wives by stating "talaq" (divorce) thrice.
Union minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on Thursday slammed the Congress for not passing a bill during its rule to criminalise instant triple talaq, saying Muslim women have been struggling for their rights due to the party's failure
Senior Congress leader Salman Khurshid, however, a former union law minister, struck a discordant note, insisting the proposed law will be an "intrusion" into the personal lives of individuals and bring divorce, a civil issue, into the realm of criminal law.
