New Delhi: Muslim women in India have finally found a way out of the agony they have suffered for ages due to triple talaq, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Sunday.
"The age-long sufferings of Muslim mothers and sisters due to triple talaq were not hidden from anyone. After years of battle, they have finally found the way out to rid themselves of triple talaq," PM Modi said.
This was PM Modi's first comment after the Lok Sabha passed a bill that criminalises the practice of instant divorce with three-year jail.
The Prime Minister, however, didn't mention the Muslim women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill that was cleared by the Lok Sabha on Thursday.
There is provision for subsistence allowance from the husband for the livelihood and daily needs of the wife and the dependent children. The wife will also be entitled to the custody of minor children.
In his address, PM Modi said the government had taken measures to curb black money, corruption, benami properties and terrorism. He said the battle against these would intensify the next year.
