Triple talaq in India
Triple talaq (instant divorce) and talaq-e-mughallazah (irrevocable divorce) were a type of Islamic divorce previously available to Muslims in India, especially adherents of Hanafi Sunni Islamic schools of jurisprudence. A Muslim man could legally divorce his wife by proclaiming three times consecutively the word talaq (the Arabic word for "divorce") (in spoken, written or, more recently, electronic form).
