Even as the debate around triple talaq rages on, a report in this paper has highlighted how the triple 'T' is being misused across the country. Women are, quite literally, being thrown out of homes. This amounts to exploitation of a vulnerable section of the society.
In this report, a Mira Road resident thrashed his wife and threw a note at her with the three words "talaq, talaq, talaq" on it. Significantly, this report comes as the decibel level is increasing in the debate to scrap the practice altogether. Those supporting a ban on it have mentioned numerous cases where talaq has been pronounced over the phone, or sent via postcards. While it's a misuse of triple talaq, there is a case of abolishing triple talaq itself.
