The Supreme Court has once again adopted a strict stance regarding the practices of divorce in Muslim society. In fact, during the hearing on the petition challenging Talaq-e-Hassan, the Supreme Court raised the question whether such a one-sided process can be accepted in a civilized society. Regarding this, the bench of Justice Surya Kant, Justice Ujjwal Bhuiyan and Justice Kotishwar Singh has indicated to send Talaq-e-Hassan to a larger bench of five judges. In this case, petitioner Benazir Hina has termed the divorce notice sent by her husband through her lawyer as unconstitutional. In such a situation, let us tell you today how many types of divorce are there apart from triple talaq and what is the difference between them.
On which case is the Supreme Court hearing?
Actually, petitioner Benazir Hina was given unilateral divorce by her husband Yusuf through Talaq-e-Hassan. Regarding this, the woman says that this practice violates the fundamental rights of Muslim women and is against Articles 14, 15, 21 and 25 of the Constitution. He has also challenged Section 2 of the Muslim Personal Law Application Act 1937, which allows a Muslim man to grant divorce on one hand. In 2017, the Supreme Court had declared instant triple talaq invalid in Shayara Bano vs. Union of India and other cases regarding this type of divorce. Along with this, Muslim Women Marriage Act 2019 was also implemented. There are five types of divorce in the Muslim community.
Types of divorce in Muslim community
talaq-e-ahsan
In Islamic law, Talaq-e-Hassan is considered the most correct and peaceful method of divorce. In this, the husband pronounces talaq once and waits for the period of Iddat i.e. about 3 months. During this time, if an agreement is reached between the two, then the divorce is automatically considered cancelled. This method provides a thoughtful process to end the relationship without any dispute and without any haste.
talaq-e-hasan
In Talaq-e-Hassan, the husband pronounces talaq thrice at a particular time of the month. But all three times the divorce is pronounced in three different months. In this, between the first and second time the husband has a chance to improve the relationship. At the same time, if divorce is given even for the third time, the marriage is considered to be over. This is also counted among the valid and better methods of divorce in Shariat.
open
Open divorce is the method in which the wife initiates the divorce. In this, the wife asks her husband for permission to end the marriage and usually returns dowry or some financial things. If the husband agrees, the divorce takes place openly. If the husband does not agree, then women can apply for divorce in the Islamic Council or court. This is considered an important right given to women in Islam.
Mubarat
In Mubarat, divorce is not done by either of the husband or wife but with the mutual consent of both. In this both agree that the marriage cannot continue any longer. This method is considered a peaceful and mutual way to end the marriage.
talaq-e-biddat
Talaq-e-Biddat means triple talaq. This is the method of divorce which has been most discussed in the Muslim community in India and which has now been banned by law in India. In this, the husband ends the marriage by pronouncing triple talaq in one go. This is considered inferior and hasty method even in Islam. Therefore it was abolished.
