On Thursday, after a prolonged debate, Lok Sabha passed the contentious Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill 2019, commonly known as the Triple Talaq Bill with a majority of 303 votes.

The Rajya Sabha, meanwhile, in a major setback to the Opposition, passed RTI Amendment Bill and voted against sending it to a select panel.

The government also decided to extend the Parliament session till August 7. The session, which began on June 17, was scheduled to end on July 26.
