NEW DELHI: The
Triple Talaq Bill of Talaq-e-Biddat was on December 28 (Thursday) passed by the
Lok Sabha after a huge debate which was awaited for long days. The bill was presented by the Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) government-led by
Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the parliament.
The Triple Talaq Bill will now be sent to the
Rajya Sabha for consideration. The Triple Talaq Bill was passed by voters in Lok Sabha. The bill was passed after the House rejected a string of amendments moved by various opposition members.
Several MPs from the AIMIM, RJD, AIADMK, All India Muslim League and BJD opposed the bill, calling it arbitrary in nature and a faulty proposal.
In the meantime, the Opposition Congress did not oppose the bill. However, senior Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge suggested the bill should be sent to standing committee as it has certain loopholes.
The Bill was presented in the parliament by Union Law Minister
Ravi Shankar Prasad. He said that it is relevant to woman’s honour and not to religion.
