        abstract = {This article critically examines the provisions of the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights in Marriage Act) 2019 pertaining to Muslims in India, particularly the provision related to criminalisation of triple talaq. Investigating the genesis, development, and history of the notion of talaq-e-biddat from the time of the jahilliyah until present, the focus of this article remains on the concept of talaq considering the Quran, hadith, and opinions of different schools of Islamic law. The overall objective is to bridge the law and practice of talaq in Islam, highlighting the possible misuse of triple talaq and the relevance of ‘digital triple talaq’ in contemporary Indian society, specifically in the state of Punjab. The primary aim of this article is to address gaps in current law by analysing the existing legislation and judicial decisions on the matter of triple talaq. The article evaluates the role of the Indian judiciary in establishing principles for the protection of the matrimonial rights of women, considering the worldwide and national perspectives on the protection of the rights of Muslim women. Based on a survey in the state of Punjab generally, but particularly in Malerkotla and Qadian, where Muslims are heavily populated, this article identifies the challenges that will arise for Muslims following the implementation of the Act.},
