The Union Cabinet gave its nod on Tuesday to re-promulgation of the ordinance on triple talaq, which makes the practice of instant divorce by Muslim men a penal offence with provisions for certain rights of the victim.
This is the third time that the government will bring in the ordinance, as the bill, passed by the Lok Sabha, could not pass the Rajya Sabha hurdle and is set to lapse once the Lower House is dissolved.
