On Tuesday, the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) told the Supreme Court (SC) that triple talaq was a matter of faith that was almost 1,400 years old, and asked who were we to say that it was un-Islamic. "We are not saying that it (triple talaq) is good and should continue permanently. The AIMPLB had, on several occasions, admitted that triple talaq is sinful. On Friday, the SC had observed that triple talaq, though legal, was the "worst and undesirable form for dissolution of marriages among Muslims." The SC is hearing a batch of petitions that challenge the constitutional validity of triple talaq and 'nikah halala'.
