In which of the following cases did the Supreme Court discuss the constitutional validity of triple talaq?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
In Shayara Bano v Union of India (2017), the Supreme Court by majority set aside instant triple talaq (talaq-e-biddat) as invalid. Naz Foundation concerned IPC section 377, Danial Latifi upheld the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act 1986, and Shabnam Hashmi concerned adoption under the Juvenile Justice Act. Parliament later declared triple talaq void and made it an offence by the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act 2019.
