On Friday, Senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad stated that the party "outrightly" reject the ordinance submitted by the Center to award three-year of jail term for guilty in Triple talaq cases. He stated this because the Triple talaq cases is considered as an "atrocious law".

While interacting with ANI, Ghulam Nabi Azad said that the decision is just a way to divide the husband and wife. The Centre already moved it in the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha and we have rejected it. We will reject it outrightly because it is an atrocious law. They just want to divide the husband and wife, there is nothing beyond that.

While president of the All India Imam Association, Imam Umer Ahmed Ilyasi, said that if the law is passed the chances of its ill-usage will increase. He further hurled for a total discussion on the same.

Imam Ilyasi said, "If Triple Talaq is misused then this can also be misused. A woman can falsely accuse their husband,"

Earlier a report emerged as per which government is considering to move an ordinance to award a sentence of three years to those who indulge in instant triple talaq (talaq-e-biddat). As per the directions of the Supreme Court, Prime Minister Narendra Modi led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government tabled The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill, 2017 (Triple Talaq Bill) in the Lok Sabha, which passed it on December 28, 2017. However, the bill is yet to get clearance from the Rajya Sabha.
