RW tweeps, please hold fire against BJP and Modi Govt on minority/Hindutva issues. Triple Talaq ban is the best thing they have come up with. It will be DeMo-2 on Jihadis illicit fund sources.
This should be followed up with total ban on child marriages among Ms. Also section 494 of IPC on Bigamy be amended to bring it in line with the 2015 Kerala HC ruling that section 494 applies to everyone irrespective of his/her religion. A suitable Explanation be added t sec 495
Even before Kerala HC decision of 2015, Law Commission report no. 227 of 2009 expressed doubts whether muslim men are exempt from bigamy provisions of section 494."As regards the Muslims, the IPC provisions relating to bigamy apply to
women –
women –
-since Muslim law treats a second bigamous marriage by a
married woman as void – but not to men as under a general reading of the
traditional Muslim law men are supposed to be free to contract plural
marriages. The veracity of this belief, of course, needs a careful scrutiny"

So, Govt has ample material to bring a limited amendment to section 494 of IPC by inserting a clarificatory Explanation..The Law Commission report and Kerala HC ruling of 2015 on section 494 can be cited in statement of Objects and Reasons of Amendment Bill @Swamy39
Law should be brought to end Nikah halala also.
