The Allahabad High Court held that under Mohammedan law, divorce becomes effective upon pronouncement of “talaq” by the husband. A subsequent judicial decree is merely declaratory, affirming the divorce from the original date, not creating a fresh dissolution.
Today, 3rd December, The Supreme Court is set to examine the constitutional validity of Talaq-e-Hasan, an extrajudicial Muslim divorce practice. The Court has scheduled the hearing for 21st January and directed that a counter be filed within four weeks.
