Triple Talaq used to satisfy lust, says Uttar Pradesh minister Swami Prasad Maurya
"The entire practice has no basis. Some people keep changing his wife to satisfy his lust. They leave their own wife and children on the streets to beg," the BJP leader was quoted as saying by media.
He made the comment at a time when Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged people to not to make the Triple Talaq issue a political one.
Modi on Saturday said that he hoped Muslim communities will come forward to resolve the issue of Triple Talaq.
The Prime Minister was attending an event to mark the birth anniversary of Basava, a 12th century philosopher and social reformer.
He said that the issue of Triple Talaq should not be seen through a 'political prism'.
The Supreme Court is hearing a batch of petitions who have urged that the process of Triple Talaq followed by some Muslim men should be banned, media reports said.
