Supreme Court to rule on constitutional validity of triple talaq

Live Mint  

The Supreme court is set to pronounce on Tuesday its verdict on whether the Muslim practice of triple talaq is in line with the Constitution of India and fundamental to Islam. As a five-judge bench gears up to rule on the constitutional validity of triple talaq, it is likely to be restricted to this aspect alone and leave issues such as polygamy and nikah halala under the Muslim personal law. The court’s verdict will arise out of a batch of petitions challenging triple talaq, nikah halala and polygamy under Muslim personal law. Going a step further, it told the court in May that it would bring in a new law to regulate marriage and divorce among Muslims if the practice of triple talaq was declared unconstitutional.
