The Supreme Court ruling on triple talaq will start a new chapter in empowerment of Muslim women in India, say Bollywood celebrities who celebrated the verdict on Tuesday.
The apex court, by a 3:2 majority judgment, held triple talaq being practised by the Muslim community as “unconstitutional”, “arbitrary” and “not part of Islam”.
Here’s what some Bollywood celebrities tweeted:

Since Supreme Court has declared #TripleTalaq “unconstitutional”, why does Parliament have to enact a new law to void it?
