India bans instant divorce by Muslim men
19/9/2018 18:18
India's government has approved an ordinance to implement a top court ruling striking down the Muslim practice that allows men to instantly divorce. The government decision came after it failed to get approval of India's Parliament a year after the court ruled that the practice of triple "talaq" violated the constitutional rights of Muslim women. The government will have another six months to get Parliament's approval for the ordinance to become law. But in the meantime, suspects can be prosecuted using the ordinance.
