Fines...
Husbands who attempt "instant divorce" could be sentenced to three years in prison under draft legislation being considered in India. The traditional practice involves a man saying "talaq" (divorce) three times - in any form, including email or text message.
It was declared unconstitutional by India's Supreme Court in August, but officials say it has continued since. The proposed law also provides for fines and support for affected women.
The draft Women Protection of Rights on Marriage Bill has now been sent to regional governments for consultation.
It would explicitly ban "triple talaq", in line with the Supreme Court ruling, and lay out procedures legal procedures for a "subsistence allowance" and custody arrangements, the Press Trust of India said.

Flibanserin's developer and some women's groups, accuse the F.D.A. of gender bias for approving Viagra and other drugs to help men have sex, but none for women.
"Women have waited long enough. Gender equality should be the standard when it comes to access to treatments for sexual dysfunction."
The drug has been rejected by the F.D.A. on the grounds that its very modest effectiveness was outweighed by side effects like sleepiness, dizziness and nausea.
Chairwoman of Even the Score, said the side effects of flibanserin, like sleepiness and dizziness, were not so serious. By contrast Viagra and some other drugs for men can cause blindness, penile rupture and other serious side effects.
Women on the drug trial said they had experienced less distress and a meaningful change. And some have said the drug had a big effect. Just a thought.

Twitter...
This is the hope of the Media [CNN, NBC, and others]. Twitter is eating their lunch on a President's tweets, one tweet at a time.
