Why Asaduddin Owaisi Opposed Triple Talaq In Lok Sabha

1. The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill, 2019 violates Articles 14, 15, 21, 26 and 29.

2. The Bill says that the marriage would be legal even if a man gives triple talaq (talaq-e-biddat) to his wife, and would get three years in jail.

3. How is it possible for a husband to give subsistence allowance to his wife when he is in jail? Why should a woman be in a marriage with and wait for a man who has been imprisoned for three years? और जब 3 साल के बाद वो वापस आए तो कहे कि “बहारों फूल बरसाओ मेरा महबूब आया है”?

4. I question the wisdom of the government by bringing such a Bill when the burden of proof rests with the woman. How can we expect that a woman's in-laws will testify in favor of her when their son is in question?

5. Why bail would be granted 'after hearing the married Muslim woman'? IPC 300 & 307 doesn't listen to the victim. If in a normal court of Law, prosecution argues against the bail and the court decides whether to give bail, why is the government deciding the same in this case?

6. It also says that 'an offence shall be compoundable, at the instance of the married Muslim woman'. But there is no such provision in S-498, Domestic Violence Act.

7. In this bill, there's no presumption of innocence. Even Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances, and acts dealing with terror have the legal principle of presumption of innocence.

8. 'Imprisonment for a term which may extend to three years' prescribed in the bill is against basic criminal jurisprudence.

9. I suggested that a condition should be imposed in cases of triple talaq where the deserting husband should be made to pay 500 percent of the Mehr amount to the wife in case of pronouncement of Triple Talaq.

10. At the cost of reiteration, marriage in Islam is a civil contract and not a union for “janam janmatnar”as in Hinduism. We will stick to our Holy Quran and Sunnat. No bill is going to force us to do otherwise. BJP needs to stop parading their ignorance.

11. As far as @BJP4India’s love for women in India is concerned, during the #MeToo movement, the government formed a panel of ministers. What happened to the panel of ministers' report? The group of ministers was disbanded. @BJP4India took no action against their MP.

12. 23 lac Hindu women have been deserted by their husbands. Rape survivors of the Muzaffarnagar riots who chose to report their sexual assaults were let down by the government and the courts, and there's been no conviction in any of the cases?
Where's their love for these women?

— Asaduddin Owaisi (@asadowaisi) July 25, 2019

13. If the @BJP4India stands for women rights and justice and supports justice for women, why don't they get a special aircraft and fly all its female MPs to Sabrimala?

14. I opposed and voted against the Bill since it is unconstitutional and anti-Muslim women. My amendments to the Bill were negatived in the clause by clause voting.

Thread end. #TripleTalaq
