Is triple talaq banned in India?

Yes, triple talaq is banned in India. The court established a legal prohibition on Triple Talaq with the enactment of the legislation of the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act in 2019.

Triple Talaq, also known as “talaq-e-bid’ah” or instant divorce in Muslim law, where a Muslim man can instantly divorce his wife by saying “talaq” three times was banned in many places including India to protect the rights of women. This practice was considered unjust and left women vulnerable. The ban on triple talaq aims to ensure fairness and protect women from instant divorce. By outlawing triple talaq, countries seek to provide women with the same legal protections and opportunities for reconciliation that other divorce processes offer. It is a step towards equality, respecting the dignity and rights of Muslim women within the framework of marriage and divorce.
