Gujarat HC reaffirms Muslim couples’ right to verbal mutual divorce
The Gujarat High Court has ruled that a Muslim marriage can be dissolved through ‘mubaraat’ (mutual consent divorce) without a written agreement. Overturning a Rajkot family court’s decision, the High Court cited the Quran and Hadith, emphasizing that expressing mutual consent is sufficient for dissolving a marriage under Muslim personal law.
