(PTI Photo)The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) Sunday said instant triple talaq — in which the husband says ‘talaq’ thrice in quick succession — is “wrong”, but is still a valid way to end a marriage. The Board, however, also said Muslims who “misuse” instant triple talaq would face a “social boycott” from the community. Not only was triple talaq valid, conveying it by a mobile phone message too, was valid, Rahmani said. There are “large-scale misconceptions” about Muslim personal law, especially the law of talaq, because of lack of “correct information”, he said. Most of the calls are not on the issue of triple talaq but related to marital discord and family disputes.
