Triple Talaq Debate Parliament

Parliament today passed the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill, 2019. The upper house earlier rejected the motion to send the contentious triple talaq bill - that makes instant triple talaq a criminal offence - to select committee for further scrutiny. The passage of the bill was supported by a non-aligned Biju Janata Dal, while N...

With the government all set to bring a fresh bill in Parliament to ban the practice of instant triple talaq, the Congress on Thursday said there are still some issues which it will debate and oppose.

The Rafale debate is to continue in the Parliament after a heated debate yesterday between the Opposition and the ruling party. Rahul Gandhi, Congress chief and leader of the Opposition, took shots at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and challenged him for an one-on-one on the Rafale deal.

The Congress on Wednesday issued a whip in both Houses of the Parliament, asking all its members to be present as discussion on the Rafale deal will conclude in Lok Sabha and key issues such as the triple talaq bill are likely to come up in Rajya Sabha.

A busy day is expected in the parliament today as lawmakers are expected to debate multiple issues, including the Triple Talaq bill in the Rajya Sabha and the Rafale deal in the Lok Sabha.

Minority Affairs Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi defended penal provision in the "triple talaq" bill on Thursday, saying it is important to instill fear in the minds of those still practicing it. He also rejected the suggestions that it was against any religion.

On the last day of the current Monsoon Session of Parliament today, members will discuss the crucial triple talaq bill. The bill, which was debated during the previous session, has been amended by the government considering suggestions made by other parties. Today, the government looks to pass the bill in Parliament.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today lamented that disruptions in Parliament have unfortunately prevented several members, retiring from the Rajya Sabha, from being able to participate in debates on historic legislations like the triple talaq bill.

The Centre may send the Triple Talaq Bill to a Select Committee for recommendations only if the Opposition agrees to have a debate of the issue.The Lok Sabha has passed the Bill last week. The BJP accused the Congress and other parties of running away from a debate and stalling the bill that ensures gender justice to Muslim women. The Rajya Sabha w...

Hopelessly outnumbered in the Rajya Sabha, the government is reconciled to the fact that it will have to give in to the Opposition's demand to send the landmark triple talaq bill to a parliament committee for review, sources have said. It will not, however, do so without a fight.

After easily clearing the Lok Sabha last week, the triple talaq bill will be brought tomorrow to the Rajya Sabha, where four hours have been allotted for a debate and vote despite the Congress and other opposition parties making it clear that they will push for it to be sent to a parliamentary committee for review.

The Lok Sabha has adopted the so- called triple talaq bill, a badly-conceived, poorly-drafted piece of legislation, the very foundation of which is flawed. While the government has claimed it will be of benefit to Muslim women, the voices of Muslim women have not been heard. Muslim women in this specific debate have been left out, caught between th...
