Triple Talaq Case: 5 Supreme Court Judges of 5 Faiths Begin Hearings
The country's five seniormost judges, all of different faiths, began hearings on Thursday to determine if triple talaq, the practice of Muslim men getting instant divorce by saying "talaq" three times, was fundamental to religion but may not rule on polygamy among Muslims. The constitution bench of the Supreme Court is hearing seven petitions filed by Muslim women challenging the practice in the community; some complained of being divorced on Facebook and WhatsApp.
