The Union Cabinet on Friday cleared the triple talaq Bill that makes giving instant talaq a punishable offence. The bill, which gives women the right to seek maintenance in case of triple talaq, is likely to be tabled in Parliament during the Winter Session that began today.
The draft law provides for three years in prison and a fine for a Muslim man wanting to divorce his wife by uttering “talaq” three times in one go. As per the draft, tripe talaq or talaq-e-biddat will be a “cognisable and non-bailable” offence punishable with three years imprisonment and the wife will be entitled to maintenance and the custody of children if they are minor.
