‘Triple talaq is worst form of marriage dissolution’

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday said the practice of triple talaq was the “worst” and ‘not desirable” form of dissolution of marriages among Muslims, even though there were schools of thought which termed it as “legal”.
There are “school of thoughts (which) say that triple talaq is legal, but it is the worst and not desirable form for dissolution of marriages among Muslims,” a five-judge constitution bench, headed by Chief Justice J S Khehar, said on the second day of continued hearing on the matter.
The observation came when former Union Minister and senior advocate Salman Khurshid, who is assisting the court in his personal capacity, told the bench that it is not an issue where judicial scrutiny is required and moreover women have the right to say ‘no’ to triple talaq by stipulating a condition to this effect in ‘nikahnama’ (marriage contract).
