The Supreme Court on 22 August struck down the validity of Triple Talaq with a 3:2 majority. A bench comprising five judges, headed by Chief Justice JS Khehar, had reserved its verdict on 18 May, six days after the hearing began on 11 May.
Women and Child Development Minister Maneka Gandhi hailed the SC verdict as being “good for women”.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi lauded the SC’s decision on Triple Talaq and called it a move that grants equality to Muslim women.
Asaduddin Owaisi, President of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), though said he respected the decision, he also added that its implementation would face challenges.
