well i think for many rights groups and petitioners who has challenged this practice in court i think they will be happy that that muslim men who don't wish to put a mark to really abandon their wives will now have to pay serious consequences though i have to say they're all from skilling's about the severity of the punishment now there are no official statistics on the prevalence of consent both in india but what we do know is that the goal for a man are often from poor families and their husbands often don't even teens forcing them to really return to their parenting homes are really fighting for themselves so i think for a lot of these women this today is the order will definitely come soon so is there a danger that this could bed that this new measure could be misused. well there are opposition parties in india and even the muslim clergy who have protested against provisions off the bill in the boss saying that they're excessive they've argued that you know putting the breadwinner of a family tree is an injustice to women and children if they left them for themselves without finan
