Today's Video Focus: A fresh bill to outlaw the Muslim practice of a man divorcing his wife
instantly by uttering "talaq" thrice, which got stalled in the upper
house of parliament and lapsed, was introduced in the Lok Sabha today.
The government countered the opposition's charge that it was a
"discriminatory" bill by pointing out that the Supreme Court's order
banning the controversial Islamic practice needs to be followed up with a
strong law. "...There have been triple talaq since 2017 even after the
judgement. What should the women do? Hang the judgement on the wall?"
Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said after introducing the bill
in the Lok Sabha. The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage)
Bill, 2019 will replace an ordinance issued in February by the previous
BJP-led National Democratic Alliance government. The bill had failed to
clear the Rajya Sabha test earlier.
