New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Wednesday directed the Centre to furnish data on FIRs and chargesheets against men who invoked instant triple talaq to divorce their wives in violation of the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights in Marriage) Act, 2019.

A bench comprising Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Sanjay Kumar was hearing about 12 petitions filed by various Muslim individuals and organisations challenging the constitutional validity of the 2019 Act that criminalises the practice of instant triple talaq.

“The respondent (Centre) shall file the total number of FIRs and chargesheets pending under Section 3 and 4 of the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights of Marriage) Act 2019. The parties to also file written submissions not exceeding three pages in support of their contention,” the bench said. It asked the Centre and other parties to file written submissions to the pleas while the posting the matter for final hearing in the week commencing March 17.

Referring to the legal position, the bench said as triple talaq was held invalid, there was no dissolution of marriage and the point now was the criminalisation of the pronouncement.
