The Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind is challenging the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025, in the Supreme Court, claiming it infringes on Muslim religious freedoms and violates the Constitution. Several other organizations and leaders have joined in opposing the law, raising concerns about its discriminatory nature and its transfer of Waqf authority to the Central Government.
The Central Government defended the criminalization of instant triple talaq, stating that it protects the rights of married Muslim women and promotes gender justice and equality. The 2019 law aims to safeguard women affected by triple talaq, following the Supreme Court’s invalidation of the practice and its review of the law. The government emphasized the legislative role in determining criminal conduct based on current social conditions.
