NEW DELHI: When transformational laws are brought for the welfare of the people, the orthodox segments oppose them but the opposition eventually fails, Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said today, referring to those opposing the draft law on instant triple talaq.
He added that history was full of examples where the opposition to such laws had failed.
In a series of tweets, Prasad said many Muslim women had met him and requested for a stringent penal provision against the practice of “talaq-e-biddat” or instant triple talaq.
“Many major Islamic countries have done away with this practice. Why should a secular country like India not abolish it?” he asked. (AGENCIES)
