Shayara Bano vs Union Of India And Ors. Ministry Of Women ...

The Supreme Court addressed the constitutionality of 'talaq-e-biddat', a form of instant divorce in Muslim personal law, under Article 14 and Article 21 of the Constitution. The Court held that 'talaq-e-biddat' is arbitrary and violates the fundamental rights to equality and non-discrimination, thus declaring it unconstitutional. The judgment emphasized the need for reform in personal laws to align with constitutional morality and gender justice, leading to the abrogation of this practice.
