Triple Talaq Bill Passed by Loksabha

In a very welcome move, Loksabha has passed triple talaq bill:

The Lok Sabha, on Thursday, passed the contentious Muslim Women (Protection of Rights of Marriage) Bill, 2019 or the Triple Talaq Bill with 303 members voting in its favour and 82 against it. The bill replaces an Ordinance promulgated on February 21, 2019.

Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad tabled the Bill in the Lok Sabha on Thursday afternoon. High-level drama ensued when the JDU, the TMC and the Congress' MPs staged a walkout protesting against the Bill.
