New Delhi: AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday termed the passage of Triple Talaq Bill as "unconstitutional" and hoped that the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) would challenge it in the Supreme Court.
"The law will demonise Muslim men and cause injustice to Muslim women. BJP wants to give a message to its Hindutva voters that they have fixed Muslims through the measure," he said.
He further added, "It is unconstitutional. I hope the AIMPLB will challenge it in the Supreme Court".
The Rajya Sabha passed the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage), Bill, 2019, on Tuesday after rejecting the Opposition's demand to refer it to the Select Committee.
The Bill, which was earlier passed by the Lok Sabha, criminalises instant triple talaq among Muslims and provides for a jail term of three years for the husband.
