Triple talaq bill in RS on Monday; Cong to oppose it

The contentious triple talaq bill seeking to criminalise the practice of instant divorce among Muslims is set to be tabled in the Rajya Sabha on Monday, even as the Congress has said it will not allow its passage in the present form. The bill was cleared by Lok Sabha -- 245 voting in favour and 11 opposing it -- on Thursday amid a walkout by the opposition.
