Muslim women celebrate after the Supreme Court had set aside the practice of Talaq-e-biddat.
The Centre is likely to introduce a legislation in the upcoming winter session of Parliament to end the practice of instant triple talaq. “We are likely to bring a legislation to provide shield and shelter to the victims suffering at the hands of their devious husbands,” confided a Union Minister briefed about the issue at the highest levels of the government.
Sources said a ministerial committee has been constituted to draft the legislation. This comes more than two months after the Supreme Court struck down the controversial practice of Talaq-e-biddat.
The dates for the Winter Session of the Parliament, however, are yet to be announced. The Congress, meanwhile, has accused the Narendra Modi-led government of running away from a debate on critical issues such as unemployment and corruption.
