Up to 3 years jail for Muslim men giving instant triple talaq: Ram Nath Kovind gives assent to Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill

Firstpost  

President Ram Nath Kovind on Wednesday gave his assent to the Muslim Women, Bill, 2019 New Delhi: President Ram Nath Kovind on Wednesday gave his assent to the Muslim Women, Bill, 2019, which criminalises instant ’triple talaq’ among Muslims and attracts a jail term of three years for the husband. Soon after the Bill was passed on July 30 by the Rajya Sabha, Kovind had tweeted: “Passage in the Rajya Sabha of Muslim Women Bill completes Parliament’s approval of a ban on the inequitable practice of triple talaq. On July 30, the Central government had scored a major victory in the Rajya Sabha on the back of cracks in the Opposition when the House passed the Triple Talaq Bill after rejecting the Opposition’s demand to refer the Bill to the Select Committee and to remove the criminality clause which provides for jailing the husband for three years for pronouncing ’triple talaq’ to his wife. The BJP led NDA government, which does not have a majority in the Upper House, managed to smooth-sail for the contentious Bill because parties like AIADMK, which has 11 members and JDU, with six, walked out after recording their opposition to the Bill.
