Delhi HC Releases Notice On Woman’s Plea Against Talaq-E-Hasan

Talaq-e-Hasan law, which allows a man to divorce his wife by saying "talaq" once a month for three months, has been the subject of a petition filed by Muslim woman contesting its constitutional validity. According to petitioner, Raziya Naaz, plea was filed to declare Talaq-e-Hasan notice void. The petition contended the practice is neither in accordance with human rights and gender-equality standards nor is a fundamental component of Islamic religion.
