Asaduddin Owaisi: Govt must sanction monthly 15k; triple talaq women

MP Asaduddin Owaisi took a dig at the Central government and said if not Rs 15 lakh, at least Rs 15,000 per month should be given to women who have been given triple talaq and the same should be allocated in the Budget.

"Justice for women is an excuse, the target is Shariat. Money should be allocated in budget to give Rs 15 thousand per month to women who have been given triple talaq. If not Rs 15 lakh, at least Rs 15,000 should be given," Owaisi said.

Earlier this month, Owaisi attacked Modi by saying that his agenda is to abolish all Muslim Personal Laws. The remarks came following the passing of the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill 2017 in the Lok Sabha.

"The Prime Minister's agenda is to remove all Muslim Personal Law. They want to remove all forms of talaq. But, the prime minister is cut off from the reality on triple talaq. He should know that marriage in Islam is a civil contract. A breach of the contract does not lead to the criminal penal provisions," Owaisi had said.
