Pronouncing its order on the sensitive issue, the HC said the triple talaq system practice in the Muslim community violates the rights of Muslim women.
The court slammed All India Muslim Personal Law Board's stand of supporting triple talaq saying, "No Personal Law Board is above the Constitution."
A debate has emerged over the government's stand opposing the practice of triple talaq with some leading women politicians seeking its abolition, even as some Muslim bodies have accused the ruling dispensation of waging a "war" on their personal law.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had criticised political leaders and people on the TV debates saying such discussions on triple talaq would keep women "deprived of their rights".
"I request people who participate in TV debates to not make women rights a Hindu-Muslim issue. It is a development issue. The debate should be between the Muslims who are pro and anti-reforms," he had said.
He also said that justice would be given to Muslim women under the Constitution. #casansaar (PTI - ZeeNews)
