Indias government on Wednesday 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 from Parliament a year after the court ruled that the practice of allowing men to divorce by simply uttering the Arabic word for divorce talaq three times violated the constitutional rights of Muslim women.
Most of the 170 million Muslims in India are Sunnis governed by the Muslim Personal Law for family matters and disputes. The laws include allowing the practice, known as triple talaq, whereby men can divorce by simply saying the word three times and not necessarily consecutively, but at any time, and by any medium, including telephone, text message or social media post.
The government will have another six months to get Parliaments approval for the ordinance to become law. But in the meantime, those who violate it can be prosecuted under the ordinance.

The U N will no doubt condemn this heinous act of Islamophia.
Swell, now where am i going to move to?
I’ll bet they aren’t a 50/50 country- prenups must be along the line of “If I’m tired of you, you get nothing-”
Jews used to have this custom as well- Jesus condemned it and the bible talked about the responsibility of men who divorced their wives to care for them because without the care, they would be destitute- In otherword,s the bible spoke of a man’s responsibility to provide alimony basically- Bet they don’t do that in India- but i could be wrong
You can be sure that something will be blown-up in response.
No more Islamic instant marriage, sex, then instant divorce to get around prostitution.
Beatings will increase.
Under Islam, at the time of marriage the husband gives the wife a dowry, called mahr. This is what she keeps in the event of divorce. The husband keeps everything else: the house, the bank accounts, and the kids. Wife basically packs her clothes and gets out.
As I recall, all a muslime man (and I use the term loosely) has to do to divorce a woman is to hit her with a stick.
Or something like that ...
Now I know why so many women in the US want to become Muslims,
As if to heighten how primitive islam really is.
Right. I think he only has to pay alimony if he rapes another Muslim’s camel.
