President, PM call for early passage of triple talaq bill
Context
President Ram Nath Kovind and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday advocated the early passage of the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill, 2017, also known as the triple talaq Bill, during the Budget session of Parliament.
It has been hanging fire in Upper House of Parliament
The Bill had been cleared by the Lok Sabha in December last, but is hanging fire in the Rajya Sabha where a larger Opposition group wants to send it to a Select Committee for further scrutiny, while the government wants early passage of the Bill.
Opposition charge
Opposition members are resisting what they term the “criminalisation of divorce” as the Bill proposes a three-year jail term for Muslim men if they pronounce instant triple talaq.
