Only triple talaq instantly given is a criminal offence. All other forms of talaq is allowed which are permitted as per sharia law

Well, triple talaq itself is not invalidated in India. Only the instant triple talaq is made not permissible in law.

So you can always give triple deferred talalq to your wife by which means you can pronounce talaq one time in a month in presence of the Qazi , your wife if possible and 2 witnesses for consecutive 3 months.

Then after obtaining talqnama send it by post to your wife along with Mehr amoint.

There is no concept of three divorces in Islam. The concept Of "Three Divorces" does not exist in the Quran. The concept of "triple Talaq in one sitting" or "Instant Talaq" is alien to the Quran. It is clear that no Talaq can be effective without interference of reconciliation.

In India, Muslim marriage is a civil contract between a man and a woman. Dissolution of marriage can be done at the instance of the husband (talaq), wife (khula) or mutually (mubarat). Talaq allows a Muslim man to legally divorce his wife by stating the word talaq.


The Lok Sabha has passed the "Triple Talaq" bill that makes instant "Triple Talaq" a criminal offence and proposes a three-year jail term for a Muslim man who divorces his wife by uttering the word "talaq" thrice.

 

Talaq-e-Sunnat" or "Talaq-ul-Raje" is a revocable divorce that can be pronounced in Hasan or Ahsan forms.

The ahsan talaq involves a single revocable pronouncement of divorce and sexual abstinence during the waiting period. The hasan divorce involves three pronouncements made during the wife's state of ritual purity with menstrual periods intervening between them, and no intercourse having taken place during that time.

"Talaq-e-Hasan" is the 'proper' form of talaq. In this form, three successive pronouncements of talaq are made by the husband in three successive tuhrs (when the woman is not menstruating). In case of a non-menstruating woman, its pronouncement may be made after the interval of a month or thirty days between the successive pronouncements. This form of talaq can be revoked any time before the third pronouncement.

 

You can follow the above mode of talaq and comply with the procedures as stated.

She can claim maintenance under section 125 cr.p.c.

Hi

File divorce as per Muslim Law. 

As per your description, you have sufficient grounds for divorce. 

As you mentioned, it can also be done that you spend the iddat period abroad.

Thanks

You can follow ILA or ZIHAR but not triple talaaq. Mutual consent divorce through court but only KHULA. Civil suit will file in session court for dissolution of marriage which may take years.

Muslim wife entitle to maintenance - mehar will adjust with maintaiancne amount. Better give talaaq through ILA or ZIHAR

In talaq e ehsan, once the husband pronounces talaq, there has to be a three-month iddat period to factor in three menstrual cycles of the woman. This time is meant for reconciliation and arbitration. During this period, if any kind cohabitation occurs, the talaq is considered to have been revoked.

1. No need to go abroad for sending the notice of talaq to your wife. 

2. Send notice for talaq to your wife through your advocate for three consecutive months.

3. If you want to be safe then you can go abroad and notice for talaq to your wife.

Civil suit will file for declation of divorce which is lengthy and futile process. Observe conventional method of talaaq - ILa, zihar, 3 month notice etc.

Keep proof of her matri site profile, declaring her self divorced.

Sec 9 not applicable to muslims.

If you are so pained by this woman's behaviour then divorce her. Teiple talaq is illegal so a regular talaq spoken 3 times each month is valid. Mehr has been given but the provisions relating to maintenance are applicable to persons of all religious backgrounds.

Your lawyer's advice is partly correct. Section 9 is not applicable. He must not have known your religion/ slipped from his mind. But apart from that he is correct. These are preemptive measures as she would file cases of cruelty and domestic violence against you.

1) you can file complaint before police station regarding wife constant threats to commit suicide 

 

2) I disagree with your lawyer advice regarding issue of notice under section 9 and filing for divorce on grounds of mental cruelty 

 

3) RCR cases take over 5 years to be disposed of 

 

4) you can divorce your wife under Muslim personal law by giving her 3 consecutive monthly divorce notices

Well, I have no idea which your Delhi advocate is saying except that he appears to have little knowledge about Muslim divorce and the dispute of his client.  I regret this. Consult someone else.

You better ignore the advices of this lawyer,  consult another lawyer having good knowledge in this regard. 

You are right that section 9 is applicable only for Hindu marriage act and not for Muslim marriage. 

You even do not have to give any complaint with police about this. 

You can pronounce single talaq and follow it up by observing iddat period as per Muslim personal law. 

If she applies for maintenance then she is eligible to claim maintenance under section 125 cr.p.c which you cannot avoid. 

But that cannot prevent you from following the procedures for pronouncing talaq as per Shariah law.

Dear Sir,

Assuming your question is for divorce from man’s side,
If unilateral divorce than go for Talaq-e-ahsan i.e talaq in three tuhurs. Before the Talaq do have a mediation through family and friends and if it is not possible send her notice through your advocate and let there be exchange of communication if there is no response after a month’s time go ahead with Talaq e Ahsan.
If both the parties are ready for divorce go for Mubarrat (mutual consent divorce in Mohammedan laws)

- Triple Talaq means a husband saying Talaq three times in one sitting and instantly divorcing and breaking off all the marital relations with immediate effect without any recourse to arbitration or reconciliation with the help of relatives, friends and Sharia courts.

- This type of Divorce without gap between is considered not approved in Islam as well. 

- Hence, if there is gap for the arbitration / reconciliation with the help of relatives ec, then it will not come under the obligation of triple talaq, but there should be witness for the same . 

- As per law, now practice of Triple Talaq is an offence punishable with imprisonment up to three years and fine,hence you are not advised to pronounce Talaq to her , otherwise you will have to face consequences.

- Since you dont want to accompany with her , then send her thrice notices with a gap of at-least one month , and mention the reason for Talaq with two witnesses. 

- Under the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act, 1986, the wife has to be paid maintenance in the iddat period and mehr has to be returned.
- Further , as per Supreme Court, a Muslim husband’s liability is not limited to iddat period: 

- Hence even after divorce /Talaq , she can claim her maintenance from you. 

- Repeated attempts by wife to commit suicide amounts to extreme cruelty and divorce granted.    Supreme Court decision in Narendra v. K. Meena, (2016) 9 SCC 455

- You should give information Application/Complaint to the SHO of your area police station, after narrating that you are facing hardship as your wife is having suicidal tendencies and further you should not be held responsible in case such a thing happens.

- Further , if you want to give Talaq her , then why you want to file a case of restitution of conjugal rights . and further section 9 comes under Hindu marriage Act
