Will Amend Triple Talaq Bill: Owaisi

Hyderabad: AIMIM president and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi is all set to propose amendments to the revised Triple Talaq Bill which was introduced in the Lok Sabha on Monday to replace an ordinance issued in September. At the time of debate on the revised The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill, 2018 in Lok Sabha, Owaisi can be seen expressing his views on the Bill and pushing forward his viewpoint.

It is said that Owaisi, who himself is a barrister, has already discussed the provisions of the Ordinance with Constitutional experts , legal professional experts and also Islamic theologians and key members of the All India Muslim Law Board.
Owaisi took to Twitter expressing his intention to put forward his views and proposals for amendments in the proposed Bill. In his tweet, he slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi.He said that , “Continuing his longstanding tradition of terrible lawmaking, Modi has introduced a ‘revised’ Triple Talaq Bill that is discriminatory and anti-women. Continuing my longstanding tradition of opposing unjust laws, I’ll be proposing amendments to ensure deserted spouses are protected (sic).”

Owaisi is against criminalizing the act of pronouncing the Triple Talaq instantly and imprisoning the husband. He questioned when the Triple Talaq has been declared null and void by the Apex Court, then how can the couple be separated by sending the husband to jail.
According to him, in Islam, marriage is a civil contract and bringing in penal provisions is wrong. There are also chances that he may raise the issue of abandoned Hindu Women during the debate on Triple Talaq in the Lok Sabha.
