Instant Triple Talaq is a punishable offence: Govt. plans law




Three months after the Supreme Court set aside the centuries old practice of instant triple talaq or talaq-e- biddat in which Muslim men divorce their wives by uttering talaq three times in quick succession, the government has taken the first step to consider a legislation that will make triple talaq A Criminal offence. A committee of ministers has been constituted to fine tune the legislation. The committee comprises home minister Rajnath Singh, External affair minister Sushma Swaraj, finance minister Arun Jaitely etc. On the one hand is this government strange obsession with saving Muslim women. On the other side is the complete indifference to issues which affect women across religions, gender and sexual orientation such as martial rape, right of queer people to get married and raised children etc.
