Chhattisgarh High Court overturns triple talaq order, says religion cannot dictate law

The Chhattisgarh High Court has nullified an earlier directive that permitted the practice of triple talaq, stating that religious belief cannot determine statutory law. In its judgment, the bench emphasized the supremacy of the Constitution over personal religious customs when it comes to legislation. The decision aligns with previous Supreme Court pronouncements that have declared the practice unconstitutional. Legal experts note that the ruling reinforces the principle that all citizens are subject to a uniform legal framework, irrespective of faith. The court's order is expected to influence ongoing debates about personal law reforms across the country.
