Gauhati High Court Affirms Validity of Talaq-E-Hassan Divorce Under New Assam Law
The Gauhati High Court ruled that Talaq-E-Hassan, a form of Muslim divorce involving three pronouncements spaced over about 90 days, is valid and not prohibited in India. The court directed a petitioner seeking divorce registration to approach the jurisdictional Marriage and Divorce Registrar under the Assam Compulsory Registration of Muslim Marriages and Divorce Act, 2024, as the earlier 1935 law and its authorities have been repealed. The Registrar must verify if the divorce meets legal requirements before registration.
