Yesterday, the controversy in India over the eligibility of Muslim men for oral divorce by the Three, after a bill that ends this matter, ended two years after the Supreme Court ruled that the practice violates the constitutional rights of Muslim women.
Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said the bill's approval by the upper chamber of parliament reflected the empowerment of women and the changing image of India.
The lower chamber was the strongest parliament approved the draft law last week, according to the site "Arabic". Thus, the legislation becomes law, with the approval of the President of India, which is a formality.
The number of Muslims in India is 170 million. Oral divorce has already been banned in all three countries in more than 20 countries, including neighboring Pakistan.
