Triple Talaq In Sc

Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel, who was the first person from Haryana to become a Supreme Court judge and took up various contentious social and religious issues such as triple talaq, abuse of the SC/ST Act and safeguards for women in matrimonial disputes, retires today.

Triple talaq is the "worst and undesirable form" of dissolution of marriage among Muslims, the Supreme Court observed on Friday as it continued hearing into the constitutional validity of the practice that lets Muslim men divorce by saying the "talaq" thrice.
