Supreme Court to pronounce verdict in triple talaq case on Tuesday

The bench had reserved its verdict on May 18 on the batch of petitions challenging the constitutional validity of the practices of triple talaq among Muslims, after six-days of marathon hearings.

NEW DELHI: A five-judge constitution bench of the Supreme Court will on Tuesday pronounce its verdict on a batch of petitions challenging the constitutional validity triple talaq in Islam. The apex court is likely to pronounce its judgement at 10:30 am. The bench had reserved its verdict on May 18 on the batch of petitions challenging the constitutional validity of the practices of triple talaq among Muslims, after six-days of marathon hearings. Parties including the Centre, the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, the All India Muslim Women Personal Law Board and others had made their submissions on for and against the practice. While reserving its verdict on the matter, the apex court had asked Muslim bodies how could a practice like triple talaq be a matter of "faith" when they considered it "patriarchal", "bad in theology" and "sinful". "What is sinful cannot be part of practice. If it is bad in theology, it cannot be accepted in law...What is morally wrong cannot be legally right. What is not fully moral, it cannot be legal," the bench observed. (With PTI inputs)
