    Summary of APL/1273/2023 The Bombay High Court (Nagpur Bench) quashed the FIR against Aadil Khan under Sections 3-4 of the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019. The court held that the 2019 Act prohibits only talaq-e-biddat (instant, irrevocable divorce), not talaq-e-hasan (proper divorce with three pronouncements over successive months with reconciliation periods). Since Khan issued three separate notices in December 2022, January 2023, and February 2023—spaced approximately one month apart and witnessed—this constituted talaq-e-hasan, which remains legally valid under Muslim personal law and is not criminalized by the statute.
