Supreme Court Seeks Centre's Response on Plea for Uniform Guidelines on Muslim Divorce
The Supreme Court has sought responses from the Centre and others on a petition challenging the validity of 'Talaq-e-Hasan', a Muslim divorce practice where a husband pronounces 'talaq' once a month over three months to dissolve marriage. The petition seeks a ban on all unilateral, extra-judicial forms of 'talaq' and calls for uniform procedural safeguards under Muslim personal law to protect women's rights and ensure fairness. The court has linked this plea with a pending case filed by a Muslim woman challenging her husband's use of 'Talaq-e-Hasan'.
