Justice Anil Verma of the Madhya Pradesh High Court emphasized the necessity of a Uniform Civil Code, noting the delayed realization of triple talaq’s unconstitutionality. He made this observation while partly allowing a petition involving charges under the IPC, the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights of Marriage) Act 2019, and the Dowry Prohibition Act 1961.
The Supreme Court granted anticipatory bail to a husband accused of abetting his wife’s suicide, citing that sending a triple talaq notice did not constitute abetment. Despite the illegality of triple talaq, the court found no evidence of abetment. This decision has sparked debate about the spouse’s legal and ethical responsibilities in such cases.
