The three key amendments in the bill are:

1. The first change in regarding the filing of an FIR in case of an offence. The cabinet has approved amendments which mandate that the FIR be either filed by the victim of triple talaq or immediate blood relations.

2. The second change, the offence has been now made compoundable. Compoundable offences are those offences where, a complainant mean the one who has filed the case enter into a compromise and agrees to have the charges dropped against the accused. It means that the scope for a mediation and compromise has been available again.
