SC verdict affirms gender justice: Chidambaram

Senior Congress leader P. Chidambaram on Tuesday welcomed the Supreme Court judgement on 'triple talaq', saying the majority judgement is a resounding affirmation of gender justice and of equality of spouses.

Reacting to the apex court judgement, the former Union Minister, himself a senior lawyer, said in a tweet: "Triple talaq was a distortion of original Quranic legal principles. Good it has been declared unconstitutional."
