India's Supreme Court has declared the practice of instant divorce constitutional, marking a great victory for women's rights activists.
The court has called this practice non-Islamic, broadcasting Express.
India is one of few countries where a Muslim man can divorce his wife within minutes simply by speaking the word talaq (divorc) three times.
The court's historic ruling came in response to petitions against the so-called “talaqi triple”.
What's instant divorce?
In recent years, there have been times when Muslim men in India have divorced their wives by using the word taalq (divorc) three times through letters, telephones, and large - scale messages in WhatsApp and Skype. A number of these cases have been sent to courts after women have disputed this custom, writes Express.
However, divorce through Thallak is not mentioned in cures or cures, even though this practice has existed for many decades.
