Khurshid informed the bench that the All India Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) had declared that triple talaq was sinful, but lawful. The court asked Khurshid to prepare a list of Islamic and non-Islamic countries where triple talaq has been banned. To which it was submitted that countries like Pakistan, Afghanistan, Morocco and Saudi Arabia had banned triple talaq. "The right of triple talaq is available only to the husband and not to the wife...One-sided termination of marriage is abhorrent, and hence, avoidable," senior advocate Ram Jethmalani argued. Muslim women can approach a court if they want divorce, however, Muslim men can merely say Talaq, talaq, Talaq thrice.
