Referring to the practice of triple talaq, the Allahabad high court has observed that under Muslim personal law, marriage is a contract which cannot be rescinded unilaterally. The HC made this observation in the last week of April while dismissing a petition by Aaqil Jamil, whose wife had filed a criminal complaint against him alleging that he had tortured her for dowry and when his demands were not met, he gave her triple talaq.
