Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019
Parliament of India
Enacted byParliament of India
Status: Pending

The BJP Government formulated the bill after 100 cases of instant triple talaq in India since the Supreme Court judgement in August 2017.[1] On 28 December 2017, Lok Sabha passed the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill, 2017.[2] The bill makes instant triple talaq (talaq-e-biddat) in any form — spoken, in writing or by electronic means such as email, SMS and instant messengers illegal and void, with up to three years in jail for the husband.[3] MPs from RJD, AIMIM, BJD, AIADMK and IUML opposed the Bill, calling it arbitrary in nature and a faulty proposal, while Congress supported the Bill tabled in Lok Sabha by law minister Ravi Shankar Prasad.[4][5] 19 amendments were moved in Lok Sabha but all were rejected.
