Union Minister for Minority Affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi made the remarks Sunday at an event commemorating two years of the Muslim Women (Protection Of Rights On Marriage) Act.
At a conference, several Muslim women narrated their struggle with the legal system after they sought to file complaints against their husbands over triple talaq.
Justices N.V. Ramana and Ajay Rastogi issued notice to the Centre on a batch of petitions which seeks to declare the recently passed triple talaq bill as unconstitutional.
The law, which came into being last week, makes any form of talaq having the effect of instantaneous divorce pronounced by a Muslim husband void and illegal.
Modi govt wants to promote a pro-women narrative but has made no effort to pass women’s reservation bill in Lok Sabha where it enjoys a brute majority.
With the Presidential assent, the triple talaq bill makes the Muslim practice of giving 'talaq' (divorce) by oral or written communication a punishable offence.
Disenfranchisement by institutional fiat is profoundly undemocratic. The effect of the ECI's new documentary process in Bihar will tilt the scales in favour of the BJP.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
