Supreme Court declares triple talaq unconstitutional, strikes it down by 3:2 majority

Justices Rohinton Nariman, Uday Lalit and Joseph Kurien ruled that triple talaq is unconstitutional. Justice Joseph said what cannot be true in theology cannot be protected by law. He added that triple talaq is not recognised by Koran and hence it couldn’t be a practice to be protected under the right to religion.

Justice Abdul Nazeer and Chief Justice JS Khehar upheld the validity of triple talaq. CJI Khehar asked the government to bring legislation in six months to govern marriage and divorce in the Muslim community. 

But there is still confusion between media houses that whether there is stay for 6 months on it or it is banned forever?
