DCW chairperson Swati Maliwal writes to Narendra Modi demanding law against Nikah Halala, polygamy

Firstpost  

New Delhi: Delhi Commission For Women chairperson Swati Maliwal Thursday wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking a law against Nikah Halala and polygamy. Not just Triple Talaq but Nikah Halala and polygamy are also extremely cruel practices that affect a large section of our society,” she wrote. Another cruel practice is that a Muslim man is allowed to keep four wives, that is he can marry four times without divorcing any of his previous wives, the DCW chairperson said. Maliwal urged Modi to provide complete justice and include the provisions of criminalising Nikah Halala and polygamy in the same bill which has been introduced in the Lok Sabha.
