Prime Minister Narendra Modi hailed the verdict of Supreme court on triple talaq saying that the decision taken by the court is historic and now even the Muslim women will enjoy equality. Modi said the judgment will serve as a powerful measure for women empowerment.
The Supreme Court by a majority verdict set aside the practice of divorce through triple talaq among Muslims, saying the practice was void, illegal and unconstitutional.
“Judgement of the Hon’ble SC on Triple Talaq is historic. It grants equality to Muslim women and is a powerful measure for women empowerment,” the prime minister tweeted.

The much-awaited change desired by the Muslim women was finally taken today when the Supreme Court banned the evil custom of triple talaq for six months and has asked the government to form a new constitution to permanently abduct this custom.
