Batch of petitions challenge the criminalisation of the pronouncement of triple talaq
The Supreme Court on Friday took on board a batch of petitions challenging the criminalisation of the pronouncement of triple talaq, even as it pointed out that certain practices such as dowry managed to survive despite being held invalid and condemned as crimes.
A Bench of Justices N.V. Ramana and Ajay Rastogi issued notice to the government on pleas challenging the constitutionality of the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act 2019, which penalises declaration of triple talaq by men.
After issuing notice, Justice Ramana closed the case file, but reopened it as an afterthought, saying “some people here will be disappointed if we do not ask you questions...”
The judge may have referred to the large media contingent in the court room.
