The Allahabad High Court on Thursday ruled that Triple Talaq was unconstitutional.
A high court bench said the concept violated human rights and that personal law of any community cannot be placed above the Constitution.
"Triple Talaq violates the rights of Muslim women, " the bench said.
"No personal law board is above the Constitution, " the bench said, in an apparent reference to the All India Muslim Personal Law Board that favours Triple Talaq.
"Even the Holy Quran terms the practice a wrongful act, " the bench added.
Triple talaq is interpreted as the Islamic practice of divorcing a woman by uttering the word talaq thrice.
Most Muslim countries do not approve of it.
