Description

Triple talaq, or talaq-e-bidat, is one of the most debated issues not only in India but also in other countries having a sizeable Muslim population.

Muslim men have regularly misused this provision to divorce their wives instantly by simply uttering 'talaq' thrice.

The Supreme Court of India, in the landmark judgement Shayara Bano v.

Union of India, finally declared the practice unconstitutional.

Salman Khurshid, who assisted in the case as amicus curiae, dives deep into the topic but presents it simply, without much jargon.

Explaining the reasons behind the court's decision, he goes on to discuss other aspects of this practice, such as why it is wrong; why this practice has thrived; what the previous judicial pronouncements on it were; what the Quran and Muslim religious leaders say about it; and what the comparative practices in other countries are.
