Instant Triple Talaq is a crime: Asaduddin Owaisi

The Modi Government on Tuesday secured Rajya Sabha's clearance for the landmark triple talaq bill.

The Lok Sabha had passed the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill last week. The Upper House passed the bill by 99 votes in favour and 84 against it. Under it, the practice of instant divorce by Muslim men would be punishable by a jail term of up to three years.
