Indian Government Defends Triple Talaq Law in Supreme Court
Aug 19, 2024, 07:33 AM
The Indian government has submitted a fresh affidavit to the Supreme Court defending its 2019 law that criminalizes instant triple talaq. The government argues that the law is essential for ensuring gender justice and equality for married Muslim women. The affidavit highlights that the Supreme Court's 2017 ban on triple talaq was insufficient as the practice continued, necessitating the criminalization to protect women's rights. The government emphasizes that the law aligns with larger constitutional goals of gender justice.
