Abstract: ABSTRACT: Muslim women have long suffered from severe discrimination due to the practice of talaq-ebiddat. This procedure allows a marriage to end abruptly at the husband’s whim. The courts have often found this practice problematic, subject to certain limitations, leading to a shift in judicial perspectives. In the landmark case of Shayara Bano v. Union of India, the Supreme Court ruled against this practice. Subsequently, the Parliament passed the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill, 2017, outlawing the practice. Additionally, the Bill makes this form of divorce a criminal offense, punishable by up to three years in prison and ineligible for bail. The authors conduct a detailed analysis of this legislative measure, concluding that criminalizing this private action could negatively impact the sanctity of marriage. They argue that it is highly unlikely that the Bill will effectively ban triple talaq while safeguarding the rights of married Muslim women. They suggest an alternative approach that could address the deficiencies of the Bill while still fulfilling its intended goals. This in-depth investigation into the legislative and judicial handling of talaq-e-biddat highlights its sudden and unilateral nature, which has traditionally placed Muslim women in a vulnerable position. The legal framework prior to the enactment of the 2017 Bill offered limited recourse for women subjected to this practice. The Supreme Court’s decision marked a pivotal shift towards greater protection, yet the subsequent legislation has sparked debate over the appropriateness of criminalizing such personal matters. Critics argue that while the intent behind the Bill is commendable in seeking to protect women from abrupt marital dissolution, its approach—imposing criminal penalties—may not effectively address the underlying social and cultural issues. Instead, it could further complicate the legal landscape and potentially deter women from seeking legitimate relief due to the criminal implications for their spouses. The authors propose a more nuanced approach that might include enhanced legal education, broader social reforms to improve the status of women, and mediation mechanisms that encourage reconciliation where possible, without resorting to punitive measures. Such measures could work towards the dual objectives of abolishing triple talaq and genuinely protecting the rights of Muslim women, ensuring that reforms are both effective and respectful of cultural practices. By presenting an alternative strategy, the paper aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse on how best to reform sensitive cultural practices through legislation, without infringing on individual rights or undermining the institution of marriage. The authors emphasize the need for a balanced approach that addresses both legal and societal dimensions, ensuring that any legal reforms in the domain of family law are both just and practicable.
