Know what Muslim students think over Triple Talaq bill 2019

The Triple Talaq bill criminalising instant divorce in the Muslim community was passed by the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday, with the government mustering numbers for its smooth sailing in the Upper House where it still lacks majority support.

The contentious Bill was passed with 99 members voting in favour and 84 against it. It was passed by the Lok Sabha last week.

This is the second instance in recent days when the Modi government managed to come out on top in the Rajya Sabha. The controversial RTI Amendment Bill was passed last week amid a walkout by the Congress.
