New Delhi sources have reported that the contentious bill that criminalizes instant triple talaq among Muslims, already passed by the Lok Sabha, is set to be introduced in the Rajya Sabha and the bill, which makes instant triple talaq illegal with up to three years in jail for the husband, was passed by the Lower House last week. Meanwhile the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill is listed for introduction in the Rajya Sabha by Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on January 2, according to the list of business of the Upper House.



Furthermore this bill gives power to the victim to approach a magistrate seeking "subsistence allowance" for her and minor children in the case of instant triple talaq or talaq-e-biddat.

Moreover a victim can also seek the custody of her minor children from the magistrate. Presently under the law, instant triple talaq in any form spoken, in writing or by electronic means such as email, SMS and WhatsApp would be illegal and void. Meanwhile, the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) has claimed that various Muslim bodies in the country would move the Supreme Court if the bill is also passed by the Rajya Sabha.
