<p>&quot;What is historic is that the Congress party also supported it. Both the government and the key opposition party are on board. Congress acknowledged the need for a law (on instant triple talaq). It is symbolic of the fact that Muslim women&#39;s voices have now been heard across the political class -- that is a big achievement in itself,&quot; said Zakia Soman, co-founder of the Bharatiya Muslim Mahila Andolan.</p>

<p>She added that the absence of a law against the practice of instant triple talaq was &quot;a huge lacuna&quot;.</p>
