Muslim Women Illegally Divorced Through Triple Talaq Can Seek Maintenance Under Section 125 CrPC : Supreme Court

The Supreme Court ruled that Muslim women who are illegally divorced through triple talaq can seek maintenance under Section 125 of the CrPC. This right is additional to the remedies provided by the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act 2019, which criminalized triple talaq. The Court clarified that these women are entitled to seek maintenance irrespective of their marital status. This ruling ensures that women have adequate remedies to prevent economic deprivation resulting from marital discord.
