Supreme Courts Recent Decision Invalidating Triple Talaq


22-Aug-2023 (In Divorce Law)
1. How will this decision (and suppose govt makes law to enforce it in 15 days) affect those people who have divorced their wives in past (2013) and they are facing false cases of dowry? 2. Will their troubles increase or their wives can claim something and court can order send them back? Or this will only be applicable to upcoming cases of triple talaq? Please suggest what can such men do now to protect their lives

In a major victory for women's rights, the Supreme Court of India struck down instant triple talaq or talaq-biddat while declaring it unconstitutional. In a 3:2 majority verdict the court held that the practise was unconstitutional and it violates fundamental rights of a woman as it irrevocably ends marriage without any scope of reconciliation.

The decision given by Honorable Supreme Court shall not affect the past cases of divorce. If the divorce given by you in 2013 was valid under Muslim Law at that time than it shall continue to be valid.
