FIAT AGAINST TRIPLE TALAQ REISSUED

Having missed the opportunity of getting the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill 2018, passed in the Rajya Sabha after it was passed by the Lok Sabha, the Centre has re-promulgated the ordinance that bans instant triple talaq.

The National Democratic Alliance government projected this legislation as a landmark one aimed at empowering millions of Muslim women who were victims of instant triple talaq. The next sitting of Parliament, the final one of the

16th Lok Sabha, is tentatively scheduled between January 31 and February

13, when the Central government is likely to present its interim Budget.
