Will introduce ‘law’ if SC strikes down Triple Talaq: Centre

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ With the hearing over Triple Talaq entering its third day today, the Centre on Monday assured the Supreme Court that it will come out with a law to regulate marriage and divorce among Muslims if Triple Talaq is upheld as invalid.

“The government will come out with law to regulate marriage and divorce among Muslims if court holds Triple Talaq as invalid,” Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi told the bench.

Rohatgi also conveyed to the apex court bench that Triple Talaq violates Muslim women’s right to equality within the community, and also within the country

Earlier in the hearing today, the Supreme Court refused to hear all the three cases of Polygamy, Nikah and Halala at once, saying it will focus on one matter at a time.

The Attorney General and top law officers representing the Central government arguing in front of the five judge Constitution bench said the apex court should hear other cases also, beside Triple Talaq.

However, the top court said that they have limited time, so all the matters could not be covered at present.
