2019 Indian law criminalizing triple talaq defended for gender justice and equality in Supreme Court.

India's Center government has defended the 2019 law criminalizing triple talaq before the Supreme Court, stating that the legislation is aligned with constitutional goals of gender justice and equality for Muslim women. The government argues that the practice, already deemed unconstitutional in 2017, continues to impact women's lives and the Centre has the authority to determine what conduct should be criminalized. The 2019 Act criminalizes the practice of triple talaq, which allows Muslim men to divorce their wives by saying "talaq" three times.
