Need for state action was felt in triple talaq law, Centre tells Supreme Court

The Hindu  

The government reasoned it had to introduce a law criminalising triple talaq as Muslim men continued the practice in spite of a Supreme Court judgment declaring it illegal. The government’s 177-page affidavit recently filed in the apex court came in response to a series of petitions which have challenged the constitutionality of the Muslim Women Act 2019, which makes the pronouncement of triple talaq an offence punishable with three years’ imprisonment. The petitions against the 2019 Act include one by Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, which has argued that while a Muslim man would suffer imprisonment for pronouncing triple talaq, a non-bailable offence, a man from another faith could desert his wife without fearing punishment. A close look at the three separate opinions delivered by the Constitution Bench on August 22, 2017 shows that it was only the minority judgment of the Supreme Court which had directed the government to bring an “appropriate legislation” on triple talaq.
