'Instant Triple Talaq Is Un-Islamic'

Maulana Wahiduddin Khan | The Speaking Tree | Jun 25, 2017

As an Islamic scholar, I would say that the Supreme Court’s judgment delivered on August 22 – striking down instant triple talaq as being unconstitutional – is totally right.

In this matter, Muslim jurists need to correct themselves instead of wrongly justifying triple talaq.
