Lucknow, Dec 29 (IANS) The Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh will give an annual pension of Rs 6,000 per year to women who have been given triple talaq by their husbands.

Shia religious leader Maulana Saif Abbas said that while he welcomed the decision, the government should look more into the education of children and their problem of housing which will be better than giving Rs 500 as pension to triple talaq victims.
