Answer and explanation

Khehar C.J., with Nazeer J. in the minority, held talaq-e-biddat to be an integral part of Sunni Hanafi personal law protected by Article 25 and not violative of Articles 14, 15 and 21, i.e. "It is constitutional as it is not violative of fundamental rights", while urging Parliament to legislate; his view did not rest on the practice being followed by a majority of Muslims.
