New Delhi:
The winter session of the parliament entered day 9 following the passage of the “historic” triple talaq bill in the Lok Sabha on December 28th. The bill makes instant "triple talaq" a criminal offence and proposes a three-year jail term for a Muslim man who divorces his wife by uttering the word "talaq" thrice. The bill will now be tabled in the Rajya Sabha either on Monday or Tuesday. A number of other bills, primarily related to the business sector, are expected to be tabled today, on the last working day of 2017.
