Who Pays the Price of Triple Talaq? Real Women, True Stories
Twenty-year-old Ruksana’s marriage didn’t last a year. Her husband Raju gave her triple talaq over the phone. 

A batch of PILs are seeking a ban on the practices of Triple Talaq, Nikah Halala and polygamy. One of the PILs was filed by Shayara Bano, a woman who was given triple talaq by her husband. The other was filed by a Muslim women's organisation called the Bhartiya Mahila Muslim Andolan (BMMA).

The debate on the issue has been heavy politicised, and it often plays out in a binary discourse. As we await the Supreme Court's judgement on the issue, The Quint met a few women whose lives have been torn apart by these practices. Watch the video to see what they have to say.
