On three divorces, these are the provisions...
1. If the husband divorces his wife orally, written or any other medium then it will be considered as a crime.
2. On Triple Talaq, the wife will be able to file a case either by herself or her close relatives.
3. The Protection of Women's Rights Act, 2019, is a crime to give Triple Talaq at a time and hence the police can arrest the accused husband who divorces without a warrant.
4. The husband can be imprisoned up to three years and fined up to three years if he divorces three at the same time. He will be granted bail from the Magistrate Court itself.
5. The saying is that the magistrate will not be able to grant bail to the husband who has Triple Talaq without hearing the victim's side.
