    Pros & cons of Triple Talaq: post Shayara Bano judgment
    (University of North Bengal, 2022-09) Singh, Amrita; Verma, Ravi Kant
    “We are the nation which proudly professes about it being the largest democracy and ensures to both men and women equal rights meanwhile it claims itself to be a secular state. However, under all these pretty claims there lies heinous and discriminatory laws which jeopardize the lives of many people who are in most cases unable to earn a living for themselves. The different courts in India have passed various judgements in the cases of Triple Talaq which is not helping the Muslim women as well. Triple Talaq, a patriarchal practice should be banned because first, it is unconstitutional; secondly, it leaves the women who are divorced and dependent in acute poverty; thirdly, it is un-Quranic.
