In which of the following case, the Supreme Court held that "The three talaq would be treated as a single talaq and not a valid talaq" :
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
The answer is "Shamim Ara v. State of U.P., (2002)". The Supreme Court held that a talaq, to be effective, must be pronounced for a reasonable cause and be preceded by attempts at reconciliation, and that a mere plea in a written statement of a talaq pronounced earlier does not dissolve the marriage. The decision is commonly cited as denying effect to an arbitrary triple talaq; the practice was later declared invalid in Shayara Bano v. Union of India (2017). "Mohammad Ahmad Khan v. Shah Bano, (1985)" and "Bai Tahira v. Ali Hussain, (1979)" concerned maintenance of divorced Muslim wives.
