Talaq allows a Muslim man to legally divorce his wife by stating the word "talaq". Some Muslim groups recognize triple "talaq" (or "talaq-i-biddat"), stating three "talaqs" at once and proclaiming instant divorce as valid method. On 22 August 2017, the Supreme Court of India deemed instant triple "talaq" unconstitutional. On 30 July 2019, the parliament of India made triple "talaq" a criminal offence. Other Muslim groups follow "talaq-i-hasan", where the husband pronounces "talaqs" on three separate instances, each one at least 1 lunar month apart. If the husband changes his mind after the first or second talaq, or cohabits with his wife, the divorce is nullified. The husband can delegate power to pronounce "talaq" to his wife or a third person by agreement, called "talaq-e-tafweez". The Muslim man does not have to cite a reason for divorce. Section 5 of the Shariat Act of 1937 concerns Muslim women seeking divorce. Section 5 was subsequently deleted and replaced by Dissolution of Muslim Marriages Act 1939. Muslim women can seek divorce in a court of law. A woman can ask for divorce in the following circumstances:    "Mahr" is the total money or property that the husband is required to give the wife at the time of marriage ("Nikah"). The two types of "mahr are" the prompt "mahr" which is given to the wife soon after the marriage, and the deferred "mahr," which is given to the wife when the marriage has ended, either due to the death of the husband or by divorce. A Muslim can only give one third of his/her total property through a will (w"asiyat"). Any type of property can be given as gift.
