Nod for three changes to triple talaq Bill
News:
- Recently, the Union Cabinet approved crucial amendments to the triple talaq Bill.
Important facts:
2. These amendments were proposed to the Muslim Women Protection of Rights on Marriage Bill.
3. The Bill makes instant triple talaq illegal and imposes a jail term of up to three years.
4. Key changes proposed in the Bill:
- Provisions for bail to an accused before the start of trial.
- Provision has been added to allow the magistrate to grant bail after hearing the wife.
- But the law will remain “non-bailable”.
- The magistrate would ensure bail only after the husband agrees to pay compensation to the wife as provided in the Bill.
- Provision of registering FIRs became more stringent.
- The FIR will become cognizable if and only if when FIR is filed by victim wife or the blood relations by marriage.
- The amendment makes the offence of instant tribal talaq “compoundable”.
- Under compoundable offence, both parties have the liberty of withdrawing the case.
- Now, a magistrate can use his powers to settle the dispute between a husband and his wife.
