Shayara Bano v. Union of India
Instant triple talaq; Article 14; Muslim personal law reform.
IRAC Analysis

A fractured bench held that instantaneous triple talaq (talaq-e-biddat) was unconstitutional. The judgment catalysed legislative reform and remains a key reference for equality challenges in personal-law contexts.
