"If triple talaq was fundamental to Islam, then why have so many banned it?"

If triple talaq was fundamental to Islam then why have so many Islamic countries banned it. This was a question posed by several petitioners who challenged the fundamental validity of triple talaq in the Supreme Court. A five judge Bench of the Supreme Court is determining whether triple talaq is sacramental and can be enforced as a fundamental right.

Does Muslim Personal Law mean shariat or something else, the Supreme Court sought to know during the arguments on the triple talaq issue.

Salman Khursid during the arguments said that triple talaq is a non-issue as it not considered complete without conciliation efforts between the husband and wife. He also said there is no adjudication to determine the validity of grounds of divorce, but talaq cannot take effect without prior reconciliation.

The SC sought to know whether reconciliation after pronouncement of talaq three times is codified to which Khurshid replied in the negative. He said that if a man pronounced talaq even once and does not revoke it in the next three months, it constitutes a valid divorce.
