Highlights 1 Rajya Sabha adjourned after uproar in House over triple talaq Bill. The Bill outlawing instant triple talaq, or the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill, 2017, has driven relations between the Narendra Modi government and the Opposition to a point of zero chances of reconciliation. Jaitley's explanation: Two Supreme Court judges said the practice of instant triple talaq was unfair, and suspended it for six months - a period which ends on February 22. The big point of contention is the clause which declares instant triple talaq a criminal act punishable by up to three years in prison. Watch: Will instant Triple Talaq legislation ever see the light of day?
