Delhi High Court:\u00a0<\/strong>A Division Bench of Vipin Sanghi and Rajnish Bhatnagar, JJ., in regard to Triple Talaq observed that,<\/p>\n

\n

Prima facie <\/em>it appears that the object of Section 4 of the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019 is to discourage the age-old and traditional practice of pronouncement of talaq by a Muslim husband upon his wife by resort to\u00a0talaq-e-biddat.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Issues in the instant petition have been pending for consideration before the Supreme Court in WP (C) No. 994 of 2019.<\/p>\n

In view of the above, Bench stated that since the matter is pending before the Supreme Court, hence it would wait for the judgment of the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

Petitioners Counsel, Tarun Chandiok and Naseem Ahmed had moved the present application with the prayer that pending the consideration of the petition, all FIRs registered under Section 4 of the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019 be stayed.<\/p>\n

Substantial Question of Law<\/span><\/p>\n

Further, it added to its submissions that the minimum number of Judges who should sit for the purpose of deciding any case involving substantial question of law as to the interpretation of the constitution, or for the purpose of hearing any reference under Article 143 should be five.<\/p>\n

Bench rejected the above-stated submission stating that there is no provision either in the Constitution or in any other law which required this Court to place the matter before a Larger Bench at this stage.<\/p>\n

Section 4 of the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019<\/span><\/p>\n

Bench noted that the present petition is not in the nature of a Public Interest Litigation. Hence Court denied invoking Section 4 of the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019.<\/p>\n

Section 3 of the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019<\/span><\/p>\n

Petitioner also submitted that Section 3 of the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019 declares the practice of triple talaq as popularly known, to be void and illegal.<\/p>\n

What does the said provision state:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

\u201cany pronouncement of talaq by a Muslim husband upon his wife, by words, either spoken or written or in electronic form or in any other manner whatsoever, shall be void and illegal\u201d. Section 2(c) defines talaq to mean \u201ctalaq-e-biddat or any other similar form of talaq having the effect of instantaneous and irrevocable divorce pronounced by a Muslim husband\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

Triple\u00a0Talaq<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Petitioner’s Counsel also added to its submissions that once triple talaq has been rendered void and illegal, there is no justification for criminalizing pronouncement of triple talaq, since such triple talaq would have no legal effect on the status of the Muslim Marriage.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

Since it is of no consequence and does not end the marital status of the wife \u2013 who may be subjected to triple talaq, there is no purpose of penalising the said Act. Section 4 of the said Act provides \u201cany Muslim husband who pronounces talaq referred to in Section 3 upon his wife shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to 3 years and shall also be liable to fine.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Counsel relied on the decisions of the Supreme Court in Shayara Bano v. Union of India,\u00a0<\/em>(2017) 9 SCC 1<\/a> and Behram Khurshid Pesikaka v. State of Bombay, <\/em>(1955) 1 SCR 613<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bench held that,<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

“Legislation is presumed to be valid, unless it is declared to be invalid, or unconstitutional by a Competent Court, and is struck down.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Court observed that the\u00a0prima facie\u00a0<\/em>it appears that the object of Section 4 of the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019 is to discourage the age-old and traditional practice of pronouncement of talaq by a Muslim husband upon his wife by resort to\u00a0talaq-e-biddat\u00a0<\/em>i.e. triple talaq.<\/p>\n

Purpose of Section 4 appears to provide a deterrent against such practice.<\/p>\n

Merely because triple talaq has been declared to be void and illegal, it does not mean that the legislature could not have made the continuation of such practice an offence.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

High Court in view of the above discussion, did not grant any interim relief. [Nadeem Khan v. Union of India, 2020 SCC OnLine Del 1336<\/b><\/a>, decided on 13-10-2020]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
