The Union Cabinet on Thursday approved changes in the triple talaq bill and added the provision of granting bail to men found guilty of giving instant talaq to their wives. However, giving instant triple talaq will continue to be illegal and void and will attract a jail term of three years for the husband. The 'Muslim Women Protection of Rights on Marriage Bill' was cleared by Lok Sabha and is pending in Rajya Sabha where the government lacks numbers.
