Advocating implementation of the union civil code, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday called for an end to the practice of triple talaq.
"The implementation of a common civil code in the country will end triple talaq," the chief minister said, adding, "People who are silent on the issue of triple talaq are equally guilty."
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had on Sunday termed triple talaq a bad social practice.

"We should not allow conflict in the society. We don't want any conflict in Muslim society over the issue. We need to end such bad practices by awakening the society," the prime minister said.
On March 30, the Supreme Court had said that a Constitution bench will hear a plea challenging the validity of triple talaq, nikah halala and polygamy among Muslims from 11 May this year.
Triple talaq comes under the Sharia law that gives a man the right to end a marriage by verbally saying 'Talaq' thrice to his wife.
