Rajya Sabha MP and BJP member Subramanian Swamy on Tuesday said,''It's a great day and a day of victory for the brave and courageous Muslim women and is triumph over male chauvinism.''
"It is a strong step taken in favour of those fierce and powerful women who defied male chauvinism. The practice was against the Constitution. Now, it is time for us to move towards a Uniform Civil Code," Swamy told reporters here.
Highlighting a further scope for improvement, Swamy stated that the six-month time period given to the Union Government to formulate a new legislation will help the society progress.
The Supreme Court earlier struck down the practice of Triple Talaq as 'unconstitutional' by a 3:2 majority, after it resumed the hearing on the matter on Tuesday morning.
The five-judge constitution bench headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) J.S. Khehar, deciding on the verdict, was seemingly split on the legality of the practice.
