The Supreme Court has called for opinions from NCW, NHRC, and NCPCR while hearing pleas challenging the validity of Talaq-e-Hasan. The case, filed by journalist Benazeer Heena, will be heard finally on November 19, 2025.
The Bombay High Court ruled that the 2019 law prohibiting instant triple talaq applies only to Talaq-e-Bidat, not Talaq-e-Ahsan. The Court quashed an FIR against a man who properly followed the Talaq-e-Ahsan method, clarifying that his divorce was legal under Islamic law, thus not violating 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.
