Abstract: 

Veena Bhatia examines how Indian marriage laws leverage power on behalf of males while disfavoring females living in Islamic India. She focuses on the unconstitutional and unjust Triple-Talaq practice, which allows Muslim men in India to instantly divorce their wives by saying the word “divorce” three times consecutively at any given time and without cause. This is against the problems Indian women face when seeking divorce, which includes stigma, legal hurdles, and systematic financial disincentives.
