A Raja: Islam allows for a one time settlement. Shariah law posits one time settlement. Bill proposes 3 yr term so who will take care of the affected women in the meantime #SansadWatch #TripleTalaqBill https://t.co/pXbBYzhALw

#TripleTalaqBill violates fundamental rights & lacks legal coherence. Also Muslims were not consulted over the bill: Asaduddin Owaisi in Lok Sabha pic.twitter.com/dZufAS5dB9@CNNnews18

The bill aims to advocate gender justice, protection, and respect - which is genuinely needed in India. But, the con? Apparently people will use it as a way to claim false cases for revenge and who will look after the family, if the husband is in jail for triple talaq. YES, Salman Khurshid said that!
Additionally, the bill stands to some evident loopholes that don't serve the purpose of helping Muslim women.
What is your opinion?
