3 years of jail for 3 talaq, read here All the provisions of the Modi Government Bill
After the three divorces being banned from the Supreme Court, Modi Government has taken a big step. The cabinet approval was given on Friday with strict law bills against three divorces. Under this bill, if a person gives three divorce at one time to his wife, then he will be treated as an unlawful crime and he may be sentenced to three years’ imprisonment.
Let me tell you that the Modi government has argued that this bill should be brought in, there are three consecutive divorce cases happening even after the Supreme Court banning. There was no provision of punishment for three divorces in the law . In view of this, the central government has stepped in to make strict laws against three divorces.
The format of the bill brought by the Modi government was sent to all state governments and the opinions of the states were sought. Most of the BJP-ruled states have approved this in this regard. Among them, Assam, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Manipur, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra have approved the government.
Three provisions in the bill against divorce
According to the Bill’s proposal, three divorces (speaking, writing, or electronic, such as email, SMS and WhatsApp) will be illegal at one time.
– Three divorces will be illegal and void once in a while. The husband who does this can be sentenced to three years imprisonment. This will be considered as a non-bailable and cognizable offense.
According to the draft bill, it will be applicable to three divorces or ‘divorce a biddat’ at one time and it will give the victim the power to ask the magistrate to demand alimony for herself and minor children.
The victim may also request for the protection of minor children from a magistrate. The magistrate will make a final decision on this issue.
-The proposed law will be applicable to all the countries except Jammu and Kashmir.
