Triple Talaq Verdict: Woman's 'Ordeal' Vs Man's 'Pride'

The Supreme Court of India.

As per Muslim cleric Maulana Khalid Rashid Firangi Mahali, "We have put forth our view in light of Quran and we are confident enough that whatever will be the judgement of the court, it will naturally be in the light of the Constitution of our country. Our Constitution has given every citizen a right to follow and propagate religion of one’s choice.”

The women who have shared their ordeals which they face after a Triple Talaq are hopeful that the apex court pronounces the judgment in their favour and places a ban on the age long practice which has ‘ruined their lives’.

All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) who are certainly against the ban of Triple Talaq expressed confidence that the apex court would not interfere in Muslim Personal Law and would not ban the Islamic practice of divorce.

A five-judge constitution bench headed Chief Justice J.S. Khehar had reserved its verdict on May 18 after a six-day marathon hearing. During the hearing, Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi had assured the apex court that the government would come out with a law to regulate marriage and divorce among Muslims if triple talaq is upheld as invalid.
