Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asked the lawmakers of the BJP-led NDA to join Muslim women in celebrating the upcoming Raksha Bandhan festival and reassuring them of the ban on triple talaq to increase their sense of security. This is part of a larger outreach effort to the Muslim community ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
According to news agency PTI, PM Modi emphasized the need to interact with all facets of society and the Centre’s decision to outlaw speedy divorce among Muslim men.
According to MPs present at the discussion, the government had made this practice illegal, which had a big positive impact on Muslim women.
In 2019, the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill was approved by Parliament, making immediate triple talaq unlawful and subject to a jail sentence for violating husbands. Modi has regularly emphasized the reforms his administration has made to give Muslim women more influence.
