This paper carried a report last week about the first instant triple talaq case to be registered in the city, in Nagpada, since the practice was criminalised by the central government. The new law has made instant triple talaq a cognizable offence, punishable with up to three years in jail.

In the run-up to the practice becoming a law, the Islamic community had been cleaved. There was a section which was against what they called government interference in the Islamic way of life.
