Chief Justice Khehar also asked Khurshid if triple talaq exists outside India, to which Khurshid answered in the negative. A number of Muslim countries - including Pakistan, Afghanistan, Morocco and Saudi Arabia - have abolished the practice of triple talaq. Triple talaq is unconstitutional. The method of triple talaq abhorrent must be done away with," he said. Another former Union Minister and counsel for All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB), Kapil Sibal, called triple talaq "a non-issue, as no prudent Muslim would wake up one fine morning and say talaq, talaq and talaq".
