Husband can't avoid maintenance by merely pronouncing Talaq thrice: Jammu and Kashmir High Court

In a significant ruling, the Jammu and Kashmir High Court stated that a husband cannot evade his obligation to pay maintenance by unilaterally pronouncing talaq thrice. The court emphasized that such pronouncements do not automatically dissolve the marriage under the Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) Application Act. This decision underscores the husband's continued responsibility towards financial support regardless of the pronouncement of talaq. It aligns with the principles of family law and addresses the issue of maintenance obligations in cases of marital disputes under Islamic law.
