provision of three years imprisonment

In the year 2017, the Constitution bench of five judges of the Supreme Court had declared triple talaq unconstitutional in its decision. The Supreme Court declared the 1400-year-old practice unconstitutional and asked the Central Government to make a law. After the decision of the Supreme Court, the Central Government, while making a law, made it a crime to end a marriage by saying or writing ‘talaq’ thrice. A maximum punishment of three years imprisonment was provided for this crime. However, many petitions were filed in the Supreme Court challenging this law.
