Dowry also mutual agreement but made a crime: Irani on Triple Talaq
Union Minister Smriti Irani on Thursday said, "People earlier claimed dowry was a mutual agreement between two agreeing parties, it was a civil matter. But the Parliament passed the law declaring it a criminal activity." Irani said this after opposition parties opposed the bill on Triple Talaq in Lok Sabha, saying it's a civil matter and therefore shouldn't be criminalised.
