    The discussion is scheduled to happen in the Rajya Sabha on July 8.  

  • Asaduddin Owaisi, AIMIM MP from Hyderabad, on Triple Talaq Bill: Triple Talaq bill is unconstitutional. It's a violation of Constitution's Article 14 and 15. We already have Domestic Violence Act 2005, CrPC Section 125, Muslim Women Marriage Act. If Triple Talaq Bill becomes a law it will be even greater injustice against women.

    If a man gets arrested, how will he give allowance from jail? Govt says if a Muslim man commits this crime, the marriage will remain intact and he'll be jailed for three years if punished by Court. He'll be jailed for three years but marriage will be intact! What law is Mr Modi forming?

  • Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad: We have always stated that Triple Talaq is neither an issue of religion nor of prayer nor of any other communal consideration. It is a pure and simple issue of 'insaaf' - women justice, women dignity and women empowerment. (ANI)

  • Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad: It was a matter of great distress that Congress chose to oppose introduction of Triple Talaq Bill. Earlier they had not opposed it, last time they had walked out from Lok Sabha. But today they were siding with the likes of Mr Owaisi who were opposing it. (ANI)
