Explanation

In Shamim Ara Vs. Union of India (2002), the Supreme Court held that 'Triple Talaq' (Talak-ul-Biddat) is not a valid form of divorce under Muslim law as it violates the Quranic principles of arbitration and reconciliation. The court ruled that such divorces must be preceded by attempts at reconciliation and are not valid if pronounced in a single sitting.
