Triple Talaq: Understanding the Controversial Practice
Triple Talaq, an enigmatic Islamic procedure for marital dissolution, confers upon the husband the power to effectuate an instantaneous divorce by pronouncing “talaq” (divorce) thrice—whether in person, inscription, or via electronic correspondence. Critics decry this practice for its unilateral disposition, rendering women defenseless, bereft of legal recourse.
In 2019, the Indian legislature enacted a statute criminalizing Triple Talaq, a stride to safeguard the rights of Muslim women. The objective being to empower and dispense impartiality to women ensnared in this inequitable rite. Notwithstanding the ongoing theological and cultural debates, the subject perseveres, advancing the cause of gender parity.
