Diciendo “talaq, talaq, talaq” un musulmán indio se podía divorciar de forma automática de su esposa. 
20 países musulmanes ya han prohibido esta práctica
Barcelona, Jul.31.– Así de fácil era para un hombre musulmán en India divorciarse de su mujer. En su presencia, por correo, llamada telefónica o hasta por Whatsapp. Si pronunciaba o escribía “me divorcio” en árabe tres veces (no necesariamente consecutivas), quedaba libre de toda obligación con su esposa. La dejaba en la calle. Hasta ayer, cuando el Parlamento indio aprobó una “histórica” ley que criminaliza el triple talaq, una práctica que no está recogida en la sharia ni en el Coran pero que se calcula que afecta al 67% de las musulmanas divorciadas en el país.
La aprobación de la ley, que impone penas de hasta tres años de cárcel, representa una victoria para el partido nacionalista hinduista del primer ministro Narendra Modi, promotor de la iniciativa. El Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) no agrupaba los votos suficientes, pero lograron que el proyecto pasara en un segundo intento gracias a la ausencia de una decena de parlamentarios opositores y la abstención de otro partido.

interview last November to the journalist Fernando del Rincón, of CNN en Español, to discuss the crisis in Venezuela. He began by asking about two letters she had recently received—one from family members of dozens of political prisoners, the other from the parents of young protesters who had been killed by security forces—requesting that she personally visit Venezuela to report on the human-rights violations committed by the government of President Nicolás Maduro. Bachelet told him that these were not the only letters she had received making that request. “Today, I also got an official invitation to visit Venezuela,” she said, from Maduro’s government. Rincón, who was visibly surprised, asked if, in accepting Maduro’s invitation, she could be seen as collaborating with the government, and noted that “accepting this invitation is accepting the invitation of the person accused of violating human rights.” Bachelet replied that she wanted to sit down with every side. “Listen, I’ve had many years of experience,” she added. “I’ve been Secretary and President of my country, I’ve worked with many governments and people from civil society, and I think it would be wrong to say that, because I am invited by one or the other, I would be non-objective.”
