triple talaq

Sworn in as a Supreme Court judge on March 8, 2013, he came to be listed as one of the Top 10 judges in India by Law Consult. As his tenure comes to an end, here is a look at five of Justice Kurian Joseph’s landmark judgements.

Now that the Supreme Court has waived off this atrocious practice, there are few questions that need conscious concern at this stage.

Even after the Supreme Court set the centuries-old practice aside, instances of triple talaq continued to be reported.

“Justice has become elusive to Muslim women and remedy lies in the codification of the law of divorce.”

"Finally I feel free, I feel like I can breathe. And I can hear my mother somewhere in heaven breathe easy."

The practice violated the fundamental right of Muslim women and the ruling came as a relief for scores of women who constantly lived in the fear of receiving a ‘talaq’ at any moment.

Her in-laws ridiculed her desire to study and forced her to do domestic household chores.

Supreme Court deliberates on whether personal laws take precedence over fundamental rights.

Muslim men share their views on triple talaq practiced under the Sharia law.

The Supreme Court and the Central Government seem determined to bring an end to the practice of Triple Talaq. A welcome attempt has also come from village Naiamu in Muzaffarnagar.
