New Delhi, Dec 8: The Allahabad High Court on Thursday said that the practice of triple talaq among Muslims is unconstitutional and it violates the rights of women. The high court said that no personal law board is above the Constitution. It said, “Triple talaq is unconstitutional, it violates the rights of Muslim women. No personal law board is above the Constitution.”
The triple talaq refers to pronouncement of the wordtalaq' thrice in one go by Muslim men to divorce their wives.
Earlier this week, Islamic organisation Jamiat Ulema-i-Hind told the Supreme Court there is no scope for interference with the Muslim Personal Law in which triple talaq is deeply rooted. In the argument that it forwarded, the Jamiat stated that the Muslim Personal Law has an element of certainty and is not local or regional in operation.
“There is no scope for interference with the Muslim Personal Law, which is based on primarily the Holy Quran and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad, explained and applied by various scholars of great antiquity and authority after thorough research,” it said. “The protection of peculiarities in personal laws is necessary for securing freedom of religion and bringing uniformity by removing those peculiarities shall be enforcement of Uniform Civil Code by the judicial process, which shall be against the constitutional bar,” it said.
In November, the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) decided to form a women's wing to discuss the issues of talaq, among several others. AIMPLB passed a resolution in favour of triple talaq. The resolution passed at the AIMPLB's three-day convention stated that the government was infringing into the personal laws of Muslims.

@Pedo...you are spot on..
Court took this step because they can make good business out of it....then every client will go to court to fight for divorce.....I am not saying that the system triple talak at one time is right...that is very bad....as per Islam that should be done on step by step basis at 3 occasions....not at one time pronouncing 3 talaqs.....
Now its courts job to join Modi with his wife....
If that is unconstitutional then why not daliths are as chief of temples , why only one category of Hindus are appointed as archaks.
@ Kannadiga.... can we hear from u what the Quran says about Talaq .....Thanks ....
As a human being we must respect HOLY QURAN and to its principle and policy. no one has a right to go against it or to tamper it's policy.
100% it is the book from the Creator / God not written by any human being.
Now about the INDIAN constitution , it is the fundamental right of every INDIAN citizen to respect and follow. But the opinion taker, judge is playing with the constitution is very unfortunate, before talking any thing against Quran and its contents he must think very deeply study thoroughly. Else the consequence will effect badly on whole country.
Judge is not superior than any such holy book.
Followers may plenty be with different mind set, which we cannot compare with holy book.
Jai Hind !
This verdict is incorrect. Court can not favor hand count females and neglect 99.9 percent of Muslim women. these so called moderate muslim women are either married to non muslim men or gf of non muslims. They have no knowledge of islam and dont know abc of sharia. These modern name sake muslim women are not forced by any one to follow sharia and be Muslims. They are free to switch to another belief. However, they have no right to interfere in the shariat law which can never be changed. Modesty is priority in Islam. Do these women will also fight for nudity as in western countries. They are free to adopt western life and have free life living with anyone they wish. As they are not respecting Talaq issue as per shariat, they should not marry to muslim men. also, they should not wear quarter hijab. These so called moderate ladies are lured by sangh parivar and they feel shame to call themselves as muslims.
Triple TALAQ is not one shot go ....it has certain period to say 3 Talaq's and its better than other man made religious laws .
its GOD's law and he will protect through Men or group of men if tried to interfere ....
