Triple Talaq To Be An Offence, Cabinet Clears Executive Order
NEW DELHI: The cabinet today approved an executive order or ordinance making triple talaqor instant divorce an offence after an amended draft bill failed to clear Rajya Sabha in the last session of parliament amid disagreement within parties.
The triple talaq law, officially called Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill 2017, dilutes three contentious provisions.
The first change allows only a woman, or a close relative, to file a police case against her husband for instant triple talaq, the Islamic practice that allows men to divorce their wives immediately by uttering the word "talaq" (divorce) thrice.
The second amendment allows her to drop the case if the husband comes around later and they arrive at a compromise. A third amendment mandates that the magistrate can decide on releasing the husband on bail only after hearing the wife.
