The government is considering bringing a legislation in the winter session of Parliament to put an end to instantaneous triple talaq, a Muslim way of divorce which is still in practice despite the Supreme Court striking it down.
Quoting official sources, a news agency reports that a ministerial committee has been set up to propose a suitable legislation or amend existing penal provisions, which would make instantaneous triple talaq an offence.
In August, the Supreme Court struck down the controversial practice of instant divorce or ‘talaq-e-biddat’ as arbitrary and unconstitutional.
