‘Talaq’ is a process of separation of married couple prevalent in the Muslim community. By uttering talaq three times, a husband can give divorce to his wife and the wife is not entitled to seek any justice in this regard. Though there is a provision for reconciliation between husband and wife but the decision taken by the husband is deemed to be final. It has been found that in most of the cases of verbal talaq is intentionally used by the husbands and women are the sufferers. As no legal process is involved in talaq, a husband can misuse the talaq and can give divorce to his wife arbitrarily. This type of divorce causes distress to the women particularly belonging to the lower strata of the society. The present study is to focus on the implication of triple talaq on the Indian Muslim women and to examine its relevance through the light of rational justification.
