Triple Talaq Bill violated the harm principle, besides having contradictory legal provisions. The Bill is discriminatory & arbitrary, and violates the Supreme Court’s jurisprudence on Criminal Law said AIMIM chief Assaduddin Owaisi in Lok Sabha while taking part in debate on the controversial Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill.

Owaisi questioned the logic behind the government curbing the practice of Triple Talaq while supporting the “decriminalisation” of homosexuality. He termed it as an attack on the rights conferred upon Muslims by the constitution.
“Hundred per cent of the Muslim population is against the move to criminalise Triple Talaq. Why are you criminalising Triple Talaq while supporting the decriminalisation of homosexuality? If sexual minorities can get a choice in Section 377, why can’t religious minorities?” he asked during a debate on the controversial bill in the Lok Sabha. Mr Owaisi also criticised a Supreme Court verdict that decriminalised adultery, saying it would result in a spike in extramarital affairs.
“If your faith is your faith, then my faith should also be my faith. Your (the government’s) intentions are not pure… You can bring your own law, but we will not forfeit our religion,” he declared.
While the centre had held in court that retaining adultery as an offence was necessary to preserve the sanctity of marriage, it left the decision on decriminalising homosexuality to the judiciary’s wisdom.
Homosexuality and adultery were decriminalised by the Supreme Court and this government did not react. Why criminalise Triple Talaq? The government wants to use it against us? asked Owaisi.
