Triple Talaq bill not interfering in Shariat: Law Minister
While tabling a bill seeking to criminalise instant Triple Talaq, Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Thursday said the government was not interfering in Shariat, the Islamic religious law. He asked, "When Islamic countries have regulated provisions of Triple Talaq, then why can't we, a secular nation, do it?" Prasad said the bill wasn't about religion, but women's rights.
