The day commemorates the adoption of the law prohibiting triple talaq, which took effect on August 1, 2019.
It was commemorated for the first time in 2021.
It was the case of Shayara Bano vs Union of India that laid the foundation stones for this law.
Talaq-e-biddat, also referred to as triple talaq, is a method of immediate divorce that permits a Muslim man to end his marriage by uttering the word “talaq” thrice in any manner.
