Merely because triple talaq is void & illegal, doesn't mean it could not have been criminalized: Delhi HC forms prima facie opinion

The Delhi High Court has formed a prima facie view that merely because triple talaq has been declared to be void and illegal, it does not mean that the legislature could not have made the continuation of such practice an offence. 

The purpose of Section 4 appears to be to provide a deterrent against such practice. Merely because triple talaq has been declared to be void and illegal, it does not mean that the legislature could not have made the continuation of such practice an offence. This is our prima facie view.

Delhi High Court said.
