The Jammu & Kashmir High Court dismissed a plea seeking to quash an FIR against a man for sending triple talaq via text. Justice Wani stated that instant talaq, whether spoken, written, or electronic, is “void and illegal” under the 2019 Act.
The Himachal Pradesh High Court clarified that the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019, only criminalizes instantaneous and irrevocable forms of talaq (divorce). The ruling provides key insight into the application of the law regarding Islamic divorce practices in India.
