Triple talaq Bill penalises Muslim men: Congress MP

The Quint  

New Delhi, Dec 27 Congress MP Sushmita Dev said on Thursday that the triple talaq Bill was not about empowering women and tat it seeks to penalise Muslim men. Participating in the debate on the Bill in the Lok Sabha, she said Congress opposes criminalisation of triple talaq. The Bill seeks to replace an ordinance issued earlier for protecting the rights of married Muslim women and prohibiting divorce by pronouncing "talaq" by their husbands. "If this government truly believes in empowering women, they should send the Bill to a joint parliamentary select committee," she added.
