It's been a year since the Indian Parliament criminalised the practice of triple talaq, deeming it unconstitutional and punishable by law, and it's impact seems to have been positive in Mumbai. According to a national organisation working towards citizenship rights of Indian Muslims in the city, the number of triple talaq or 'instant divorce' cases in Mumbai has seen a drastic drop.

Bharatiya Muslim Mahila Andolan (BMMA), which was founded in 2007, is a secular rights-based mass organisation. Speaking to mid-day, Noorjehan Safia Niaz, co-founder of BMMA, said, "The law has acted as a deterrent. Men are now more responsible. They either go for reconciliation or proper divorce proceedings."
