Gauhati High Court Says Talaq-E-Hasan Valid in India, Directs Assam Man To Seek Divorce Registration Under New Law

Talaq-e-Hasan isn't prohibited in the country and is valid, the Gauhati High Court observed while deciding the petition of a man in Assam who wanted the divorce registered under the old law. The court, however, asked him to seek registration from the Barpeta 'marriage and divorce' registrar under the new Assam Compulsory Registration of Muslim Marriages and Divorce Act, 2024.
