Talaq Bill

The government yesterday urged the Congress to not press for amendments to the triple talaq bill, which seeks to criminalise the practice of instant divorce among Muslims, when it comes up for consideration in the Rajya Sabha likely today. The Lok Sabha has already cleared the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill and it is likely to be tabled in the Rajya Sabha today. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ananth Kumar said that the government would like the Congress to maintain the stand it took in the Lok Sabha by not pressing for amendments.
