The Madhya Pradesh High Court refused to recognise an alleged triple talaq divorce, observing that courts cannot validate a practice declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of India in Shayara Bano v. Union of India, while calling the husband’s plea “vexatious and frivolous”.
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.
