New Delhi, May 12 (PTI): The Supreme Court Friday said the practice of triple talaq divorce was the worst and not a desirable form of dissolution of marriages among Muslims, even though there were schools of thought that termed it as legal. There are “schools of thought [which] say that triple talaq is legal, but it is the worst and not desirable form for dissolution of marriages among Muslims,” a five-judge constitution bench, headed by Chief Justice J.S. The court asked Khurshid to prepare a list of Islamic and non-Islamic countries where triple talaq has been banned. The bench was then informed that countries like Pakistan, Afghanistan, Morocco and Saudi Arabia do not allow triple talaq as a form to dissolve marriages. The high profile hearing on a batch of petitions challenging the constitutional validity of triple talaq will continue after the lunch break.
