Nod for three changes to triple talaq Bill
Why it is in news?
- The Union Cabinet approved three crucial amendments to the triple talaq Bill, including a provision for bail to an accused before the start of trial.
- These three provisions to the Muslim Women Protection of Rights on Marriage Bill
- which makes instant triple talaq illegal and
- imposes a jail term of up to three years,
- provide additional safeguards from the Act being misused.
Non-bailable
- While the proposed law will remain “non-bailable” — the police cannot grant bail at the police station — the accused can approach a magistrate for bail even before trial.
