India's Supreme Court is revisiting Muslim divorce practices by questioning the validity of talaq-e-hasan, where men can divorce wives by pronouncing 'talaq' monthly for three months. The court expressed concerns about women's dignity and rights while addressing multiple petitions, including a case where a woman struggles with her child's school admission after being divorced through her husband's lawyer.
