The BJP MPs have been repeatedly saying that any issue that needs to be raised on the bill should be spoken on the floor of the House and discussed in the presence of the entire Rajya Sabha, she claimed.
The bill, which seeks to outlaw talaq-e-biddat or instant triple talaq and punish offenders, is held up in Rajya Sabha as the opposition parties has demanded that the bill be referred to a select committee.
The government has made a decision to put the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill, 2017, which seeks to criminalise instant divorce by uttering talaq thrice, for consideration on Friday - the last day of the winter session.
The triple talaq bill is now pushed to the Budget Session which is expected to start within a month.
Congress leader Pramod Tiwari said even parties like the TDP and the BJD, which have stood with the BJP, were with the opposition on the issue.
The united opposition primarily voiced concern over the provision for a jail term.

"Till the time a woman's husband is in jail who is going to pay for the family maintenance?"
"They are not thinking about ensuring justice to the Muslim sisters".
In view of the deadlock over the triple talaq bill, the Narendra Modi government is likely to make its last-ditch effort to get the bill approved by the Upper House, chances of which are grim with the Opposition insisting on sending it a Select Committee for detailed scrutiny. There are also concerns that if the law is passed, it could be misused as it gives anyone the right to complain to the Police about the "triple talaq" to register a case and arrest a man.
Both houses of Parliament adjourns sine die ending the winter session.
"Our effort is to ensure a smooth passage of the bill..." It doesn't believe in consultation and discussion.
Countering Congress for not following the parliamentary procedures, Jaitley said the whole country "is watching that in the other House you supported the Bill and here you are trying to derail it".
