NEW DELHI: Parliament has all the powers to make a law against triple talaq, but now the “ball is in the compound” of the Supreme Court” to take a call on the constitutional validity of the practice, Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi has said.
Rohatgi, who dubbed as “an eyewash” the latest affidavit of All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) that those who resort to triple talaq will face social boycott, said that Parliament in the past has enacted laws to get rid of unconstitutional practices like untouchability and Sati.
“Parliament has the power to enact law and it has in the past done also, but this does not make the court to not intervene and hold the practice has invalid. Now the ball is in the compound of the court and it has to decide”, Rohatgi told reporters here. (AGENCIES)
