Indian Parliament Outlaws Triple Talaq (Islamic divorce)
Religion Clause ^ | 07-31-2019 | Howard Friedman

Posted on 07/31/2019 1:02:55 PM PDT by NRx

India's Parliament yesterday gave final passage to The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill, 2019 (full text) (bill summary). The bill now goes to the President for his assent. The new law outlaws "triple talaq", the procedure under which a Muslim husband divorces his wife by uttering the word "talaq" three times to her.  The law makes talaq (including in written and electronic form) illegal and provides for a fine and up to three years in prison for anyone declaring talaq. It also allows award of child custody and subsistence to a wife against whom talaq has been invoked. The bill replaces a presidential Ordinance issued earlier this year.  In 2017, India's Supreme Court held that triple talaq is invalid and ordered the government to consider appropriate legislation on the mater. (See prior posting.)  Rediff and Reuters report on the bill. [Thanks to Scott Mange for the lead.]

Speaking of Islam, can anyone confirm this? This guy claims he has evidence of Rashida Tlaib having a terror connection.

Not likely. India would not put with it and the muzzies know it.
