Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is triple Talaq still valid in India?
A: No, the Supreme Court in the Shayara Bano case (2017) declared instant triple Talaq (Talaq-e-Biddat) as unconstitutional and invalid. Parliament passed the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019 making triple Talaq a criminal offence punishable with imprisonment.
Q: Can a Muslim wife divorce her husband without his consent?
A: Yes, through judicial divorce under the Dissolution of Muslim Marriages Act, 1939 on specified grounds including cruelty, non-maintenance, impotence, and disappearance of husband.
Q: What is the iddat period and why is it necessary?
A: The iddat period is 3 menstrual cycles or 3 months after divorce during which the wife cannot remarry. It ensures that the wife is not pregnant before remarriage and allows time for reconciliation.
Q: Is a Muslim divorce valid without court registration?
A: Talaq and Khula effected in accordance with Muslim personal law are valid without court registration. However, registration with the Family Court or marriage registrar is advisable for legal proof and to avoid disputes.
