New Delhi: The government expressed hope Friday that the triple talaq bill, which criminalises the practice of instant divorce by Muslim men, will find support in the Rajya Sabha, whose approval is necessary for the bill to become law.
The contentious triple talaq bill was passed by the Lok Sabha for the second time in less than a year after a heated debate Thursday. “I appreciate the maturity of the Rajya Sabha and also the sensitivity of the issue. We believe that we will get support in the Rajya Sabha,” Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad told reporters during a Cabinet briefing.
The bill should not be about “political opposition” as it talks about justice for woman victims of triple talaq, he said. (PTI)
