He said that while 22 Islamic countries, including Pakistan and Bangladesh, had regulated instant triple talaq, there was no effective law in India. Neither Prime Minister Narendra Modi nor Congress president Rahul Gandhi was present in the Lok Sabha when the Bill was passed. “Every family dispute should not result in a criminal action,” said Supriya Sule of the Nationalist Congress Party. Joining issue with the Law Minister's assertion that 22 Islamic nations have regulated triple talaq, Mr Owaisi no country has penal provisions. He said triple talaq was an emotional and verbal abuse and provisions of the domestic violence act was enough to deal with it.
