Opinion | Talaq jeopardy

Live Mint  

The practice of instant triple talaq, under which a Muslim man divorces his wife by uttering the word “talaq” thrice in one go, may not be rampant, but is too appalling for a secular democratic state to ignore. Last week, the Lok Sabha passed the Muslim Women Bill, 2019, which seeks to forbid it. The main objection raised by the Bill’s opponents is that it is still too harsh, though its first draft was revised to ensure that an unrelated person could not accuse someone of the offence, and bail could be granted by a magistrate. Now, it’s true that under-trials often languish even longer in lock-ups, but the question of whether the punishment is proportionate to the offence could still do with a real debate.
