Court Rules Talaq-e-Hasan Remains Legal in India After Husband's Petition

A court in India has ruled that Talaq-e-Hasan, a form of Islamic divorce, is not prohibited under Indian law. The case was brought by a husband who had pronounced 'talaq' once a month over three consecutive months, completing the process as per religious procedure. The petitioner argued that unlike instant triple talaq, Talaq-e-Hasan follows a structured process and faces no legal ban. The court agreed, distinguishing it from the practice of instant triple talaq, which was criminalised in India in 2019. The ruling clarifies the legal standing of this specific form of divorce within the country's existing framework.
