Supreme Court today agreed to examine the issue of divorce through 'triple talaq' among the Muslim community. <br/><br/>A bench comprising Chief Justice T S Thakur and Justice A M Khanwilker said, it is a very important matter affecting a large section of people which has to be tested on the touchstone of constitutional framework. <br/><br/>The bench said, there are very strong views on both in favour and against triple talaq and hence it is not straight away arriving at any conclusion. <br/><br/>The apex court also said, it will see if there was any error in previous judgements which dealt with the issue and decide whether it can be referred to a larger or a five-judge constitution bench.<br/><br/>Today's hearing saw a total of four petitions assailing the concept of divorce through 'triple talaq', with the bench allowing all of them to be impleaded and sought the stand of Centre on the issue within six weeks. <br/><br/>Counsel appearing for Muslim Personal Law Board, AIMPLB, defended the 'triple talaq' practice and said it has been held by courts that matters of personal law could not be tested constitutionally. The matter has been posted for further hearing on September the 6th.
