Under the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019, what is the legal effect of a Muslim husband pronouncing instantaneous and irrevocable talaq upon his wife?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Sections 2(c) and 3 cover talaq-e-biddat and similar forms of instantaneous and irrevocable divorce. Such a pronouncement is void and illegal whether spoken, written, electronic or made in another manner.
Option feedback
Option A
Section 3 expressly makes the defined pronouncement void and illegal.
Option B
The prescribed effect is invalidity from the pronouncement itself. Expiry of iddat cannot make this pronouncement effective.
Option C
Section 3 covers writing as well as speech and other forms.
Option D
Section 3 itself makes the pronouncement void. A subsequent order is unnecessary to create that invalidity.
