Triple Talaq Case: Supreme Court Reserves Verdict After 6-day Hearing
The Supreme Court has reserved its verdict on a batch of petitions challenging the practice of triple talaq among Muslims. The top court finished hearing the arguments today.
New Delhi: After six days of a historic hearing in the triple talaq case, the Supreme Court on Thursday concluded arguments and reserved its verdict, which is expected to come out in July.
Earlier in the day, Shayara Bano’s Counsel Senior Advocate Amit Chadha asked All India Muslim Personal Law Board to accept that the practice is a “sin”.
Chadha’s arguments came close on the heels of the statements made by Kapil Sibal, the counsel for AIMPLB, two days ago when he defended the practice of unilateral instant divorce, saying it was a matter of faith and belief.

“We all have debated that this practice is not part of the Quran and even the board has said that this practice is an undesirable practice. It has been declared irregular, patriarchal, and sinful by many schools of Islam, still we think it should not be touched by the court,” said Chadha, adding that the remedy was only to go to court with the matter, which was the guardian of the Constitution.

“Article 25 will only uphold what my religion upholds. This practice is abhorrent in Islam and bad in theology and hence there is no violation," said Chadha.
Chadha’s statement made Justice Nariman intervene, who stated that the counsel’s words meant that the practice was not part of religion at all. Chadha replied in affirmative.
