'Big move to empower women', 'unconstitutional': Reactions pour in as Cabinet approves triple talaq ordinance
Thursday, September 20, 2018 IST
The Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved an ordinance making instant triple talaq a punishable offence, after the government failed to pass a law on the practice in Parliament. The government took the ordinance route to include provisions on triple talaq in the Muslim Women Protection of Rights in Marriage Act, which was cleared by the Lok Sabha in 2017 and is pending in the Rajya Sabha.
