PM Modi led Union Cabinet has today approved an ordinance on Triple Talaq.The core component of this Ordinance is that an offence will be cognizable only when the FIR is filed by the victim wife or her close relations by blood or marriage, said Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on the ordinance on TripleTalaq.
 He also added that it's compoundable, it can be compromised only at the insistence of the wife upon appropriate terms and conditions as determined by the magistrate. He further said that a bail can be granted by the magistrate upon reasonable grounds but only after hearing the victim wife also.
Prasad continued as saying for other provisions are concerned, the mother/victim wife must get the custody of the minor child and the mother is entitled to a maintenance suitably determined by the magistrate for herself and the child.
