'Talaq-E-Hassan' valid form of divorce, to be registered under new Act: Gauhati HC

The Gauhati High Court ruled that a Talaq‑E‑Hassan constitutes a legitimate divorce and must be recorded under the recently enacted law. The bench noted that the husband’s wife, who did not appear in court despite being served notices, retains the right to contest the divorce before a suitable authority. The decision aligns with the new legislation governing marriage and divorce procedures.
