(Manisha Mahar, Intern Journalist); Union Minority Affairs Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said on Wednesday that the incidence of triple talaq (divorce-e-biddat) in the country has decreased by more than 82 percent since the enactment of the Protection of Muslim Women Marriage Rights Act. He also said that the date of August 1 has been recorded in history as ‘Muslim Women’s Rights Day’.
It is noteworthy that the Muslim Women Marriage Protection Protection Bill was passed by both the Houses of Parliament in July last year. President Ram Nath Kovind approved this bill on August 1, 2019, and with this, the law came into being.
In an article posted on the website of the Information Bureau (PIB), Naqvi said that 8 August ‘Quit India Movement’, 15 August Indian Independence Day, 19 August ‘World Humanity Day’, 20 August ‘Goodwill Day’, 5 August The end of 370 is like the days written in the golden words of history. At the same time, August 1 has been recorded as ‘Muslim Women’s Rights Day’ in the history of India.
He said that this law has been one year. During this period, cases triple talaq has decreased by more than 82 percent. The law has done its job where such an incident occurred. Taking a dig at the Congress and other opposition parties, the minister said the triple talaq was neither constitutionally correct nor justified under Islam. Yet the illegal, unconstitutional, un-Islamic practice of persecution of Muslim women in our country flourished in ‘Teen Talaq’, ‘Political Protection’ of ‘Vote Bank Dealers’.
In the article, Naqvi said,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government is dedicated to empowerment and social reform of every section. Do some people wonder why the Modi government is only worried about the divorce of Muslim women? So for their information, I want to tell you that in the last six years, the efforts of inclusive development of the Modi government have benefited all sections of the society as well as Muslim women.”
