Addressing a Press conference, the Hyderabad MP said,” My opinion is that Triple Talaq ordinance should be challenged in Court because it’s a fraud. In first page of the ordinance, the government says that Supreme Court has termed it unconstitutional but SC didn’t say any such thing rather it had just set it aside.”

The Narendra Modi led Union Cabinet on September 19 has passed an ordinance making instant “triple talaq” a criminal offence and a three-year jail term was proposed for a Muslim man who divorces his wife through this practice. Meanwhile the Supreme Court on Thursday declared that adultery is not a crime and struck down the anti-adultery law, saying it was unconstitutional as it dented the individuality of women and treated them as “chattel of husbands”.
