Author:- Shruti Chaturvedi, a Student of Agra college Agra
In the 21st century, people talk about equality, but no bone tools it when it comes to them. So we can say that it's easy to educate someone also to apply on yourself, just as multitudinous countries talk about equality but are unfit to give equal rights to women. One of the samples that showcased this was triple talaq, which showcased how society is suitable to press women. But now in multitudinous countries, this system has been banned, but it's still followed by people who have orthodox thinking.However, also it can be said that a Muslim man can dissever a woman by saying talaq three times and it's given the legal name, If we want to define triple talaq.However, also we can say that it has always been the content of debate and has always come controversial, If we particularly talk about India.Triple talaq means instant talaq; it's mainly followed by the Sunni community. Those who are against this generality of talaq raise the issue by asking questions about gender equality, mortal rights, denotation, justice, etc. These issues are always related to Article 44 of the Uniform Civil Code in India.On August 22, 2017, a Supreme Court judge decided that the triple talaq would no longer be rehearsed and that it would be outlawed nationwide. still, if someone tried to exercise it, they would be set up imprisonment or it can be like the maximum penalty is three times in captivity, a fine, or both. And no bail is available for this crime.The triple talaq has been outlawed in 23 nations encyclopedically, including three of our own neighbouring countries Sri Lanka, Pakistan, andBangladesh.Due to the wide acceptance of the notion that this law can not affect in gender equivalency, thus, this law must be repealed in order to achieve equivalency. Time changes, so this law also requires some adjustments.The term" talaq" is Arabic in origin. This talaq's essential inequity is the primary defense for its legalisation. When men and women divorce, neither can get married unless and unless the separated woman married another man . This procedure is appertained to as nikah halala.The Quran makes no citation of triple talaq, also, the Muslim scholar is largely despised.Muslim marriage is regarded as a private union up until the moment the couple registers their union in agreement with the 1954 Special MarriageAct.In Muslim law, there are three different types of talaq Ahsan, Hasan, and Talaq-e-Biddat, or triple talaq. According to Sharia law, divorce works like this. The issue of women's rights has constantly been brought up by this law.Because only husbands are permitted to grant triple talaq (instant talaq), if a woman wishes to grant talaq, she must file a court petition pursuant to the Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) Application Act of 1937 to divorce her spouse.The most famous case registered under this Act is the Shah Bano case. In this case, the Supreme Court ruled that maintenance will be provided to the wives, children, and parents till the period of iddat( three lunar months, approximately 90 days).Under this Daniel Latifi Case Women's Act, the right to equality (Article 14) and the right to life (Article 21) has been raised
