The Lok Sabha will today discuss the bill on instant triple talaq. The bill seeks to make instant triple talaq among Muslim men a penal offence. The Narendra Modi government drafted the bill after the August 2017 Supreme Court verdict that outlawed the practice. The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party has issued a whip to all its Lok Sabha MPs to be present in the House during the debate. The Congress has also agreed to participate in the debate.
