Triple Talaq Used To 'Satisfy Lust', Says UP Minister, Sparks Controversy | Read
An Uttar Pradesh minister has triggered a major controversy with his remarks on the triple talaq practice which he said was used to "satisfy lust by changing wives". Swami Prasad Maurya, a cabinet minister in the Yogi Adityanath government, said on Friday, "These talaqs have no basis... if someone only for satisfying his lust keeps changing his wives and forces his own wife and children on the streets to beg... no one will call this as right... BJP stands with Muslim women who have been given talaq unreasonably and arbitrarily."
