Lok Sabha passes triple talaq bill amid opposition walkout

The bill relaxed some of the stringent provisions of the legislation cleared by the House a year ago which was thereafter stuck in Rajya Sabha amid opposition. The Centre brought forward an ordinance in September which made the bill effective in law as it argued cases of triple talaq were being reported despite the Supreme Court ruling it to be unconstitutional and bad in law.
