Politician Says Triple Talaq ‘Saves’ Adulterous Wives From Murderous Rage Of Their Husbands

Let me tell you something. At this point, honestly, there’s absolutely nothing outrageous that our politicians can say that’ll shock us. We’ve seen/heard it all. And yet. There’s always another leader making another disastrous statement in the name of religion or public welfare that leaves us completely in shock of how such stupidity is possible.

Our next performer on stage is Samajwadi Party leader Riyaz Ahmed. And he will be talking in favour of Triple Talaq!

Yay! Best. Topic. Ever.

Now it might seem like this is a comedy show and Riyaz Ahmed is putting up a dark humour act. But sorry to shatter all your illusions. The SP leader is indeed claiming that a husband has two options in case he finds his wife committing adultery….

Missed the joke? Okay, what he’s trying to say here is that normally, if a man sees his wife committing adultery, it is quite natural for him to want to kill her. And that’s why Shariat law has the option of triple talaq to, you know, ‘save’ the woman from a fate like murder.

“You will either kill her or give Triple Talaq to get rid of her.”

I know, right? Screw the law. Screw the fact that you are making a case for a ridiculous practice like triple talaq by claiming that the only other alternate to it would be MURDER. Just think of the poor man’s comfort, who has just found his wife in a compromising position with another. Makes sense.

Clearly, Twitter was not laughing. It was furious.

I wonder why! (sarcasm intended)

You don’t say!

We’re still surprised? It’s a politician’s job requisite!

Sorry, your question is NA!

Arre but law is equal for all no? So kill the man too! Right, sir?

BS! Men don’t cheat!

Hahahaha! Wishful thinking!

Sorry hun, ain’t nobody got time for women’s rights here!

Sending a ‘Wish you were here!’ postcard to Uniform Civil Code!

Hear hear!

Same question!

Maybe he needs a dose of Faye-minism!

Dear Twitter user, you’re absolutely right!

Welcome, people, to the biggest, most outrageous comedy event of the century! Participants include political leaders from all over the world. This morning, it looked like Donald Trump was winning with his ‘ALL CAPS’  nuclear war threat to Iranian President but now I think India and US are tied for first position!

Frickin’ amazing!
