Arguing for the Triple Talaq bill, BJP MP Meenakshi Lekhi said women, irrespective of faith, do not want to divorce without a cause but men have been seen to divorce women over most trivial cases and so men cannot be given supreme right to summarily divorce his wife and abandon her. "The people who are arguing against this Bill should remember, no women wants to get divorced - I say this as a women. We think that marriage is for life. We speak about marriage, not of divorce. This is not he vs she, these are issues of human rights violation", she said.
