An Islamic practice permitting men to instantly divorce their wives has been declared unconstitutional by India’s Supreme Court after decades of campaigning by women’s groups and victims.

The “triple talaq” has allowed Muslim men to dissolve marriages by pronouncing the word “divorce” three times.

The Supreme Court in Delhi took up the issue last year in response to a petition from seven victims and women’s groups. The Court declared this week that triple talaq was “not integral to religious practice and violates constitutional morality”.

Roman Abramovich, the Russian oligarch and owner of Chelsea FC, announced that he has separated from his third wife, Dasha Zhukova.

The couple, who have two children, insisted the split was amicable but they could be embroiled in the world’s costliest divorce if forced to untangle the tycoon’s £7 billion fortune.

Abramovich owns Chelsea football club, the second largest yacht in the world and several luxury properties, including a £60 million mansion in New York and a £50 million property in Kensington Palace Gardens.

Abramovich ended his last marriage in 2008 with a reputed settlement of £150 million. However, Zhukova is the wealthy daughter of a Russian oil magnate and may not have any desire to pursue her husband for money.

Summer Phoenix, sister of actors Joaquin Phoenix and River Phoenix, has divorced Oscar-winning actor Casey Affleck, brother of Ben Affleck.

The couple reached an agreement just days after Phoenix officially filed for divorce on 31st July 2017.
