20 Islamic countries including Pakistan and Bangladesh have banned the inexplicable practice of Triple Talaq. And now Supreme Court of India has taken an action in response to a petition filed by 7 women, who were left by their husbands by triple talaq.
In an empowering and powerful verdict, the Supreme Court of India has hailed the practice of Triple Talaq as ILLEGAL. 7 judges from different faiths were sitting on the bench and it was a close 3 to 2 win for freedom of women against this evil practice.
An empowered Twitter couldn’t help but applaud the Supreme Court’s historic decision. While you and I have seen Twitter uniting, this is unlike what we have ever seen.
1. That’s the next step.
Abolishing #TripleTalaq may be a slap to Muslim Law Board but it is definitely not women's freedom. Women need to be educated & independent.

2. That’s upsetting and very scary.
#TripleTalaq is out. But worrying thing was, 2 of 5 judge bench at the top court of biggest democracy of the world still wanted it to stay

3. YES!
The Supreme Court has done absolutely the right thing by declaring triple talaq illegal and unconstitutional. It is an obnoxious practice.

5. True.
Verdict on #TripleTalaq bolsters gender justice and strengthens women, it is not a "nationalist" triumph over Muslims, please..

While the victory for womankind is surreal, we can’t forget that there’s a long way to go. Women of the country need to be educated, independent and fearless of ills of the society.
For now, it’s time to celebrate!
