When Muslim women had approached the Supreme Court to declare nikah halala and polygamy illegal alongside instant triple talaq, the apex court said it would not touch the two issues just yet. But nine months later, facing four petitions on the same issue — one filed by BJP leader Ashwini Upadhyay, two by Muslim women who say they are victims of polygamy, and another by a Telangana lawyer — the court has promptly agreed to have a Constitution bench examine the constitutional validity of the practices. On Monday, the Supreme Court, responding to the petitions, noted that the five-judge bench that examined instant triple talaq had kept open the issues of polygamy and nikah halala, and issued notices to the Centre and the law commission, asking them to make their stand clear on the practices.
