The practice of “Triple Talaq” has been controversial since a long time now. However, the Supreme Court has finally barred this practice and has asked the Center to bring a law with regards to this. A 6-month hold has been put on this practice as of now, so that the parliament gets time to enact a law.
A bench of 5 judges ruled out this decision n 3:2 majority that Triple Talaq is “Unconstitutional” and “Illegal”. Supreme Court was of the opinion that if Islamic countries can abolish the law, even India can act accordingly.
If the parliament doesn’t form any law within 6 months, Supreme Court’s injunction on Triple Talaq will continue. As soon as Supreme Court passed its verdict, here’s how Twitter reacted;
Historic milestone!

Need modern laws!
Quran2:229 says about #TripleTalaq. Quran4:34 says about beating wife. Abolish 1400 yrs old Quranic laws. Need modern laws based on equality

I welcome the decision!
I welcome Supreme Court's historic verdict striking down #TripleTalaq. This verdict will empower #Muslim women in India.

It has to go!
It shouldn't matter whether #TripleTalaq is Islamic or un-Islamic, has blessing of Quran or not. It is inhuman and unjust. It has to go

Takes centuries!
1829-Abolition of Sati Practice
2017-Abolition of Triple Talaq
Disrooting unwanted religious customs takes centuries 😀#TripleTalaq— Bindas Ladki (@bindasladki) August 22, 2017
Let us see if the government comes up with a plan in next 6 months or not. What do you have to say about this?
