Shamim Ara v. State of U.P.

The Indian Supreme Court held that for talaq (unilateral, male-initiated divorce) to be valid, there must be (1) a reasonable cause and (2) proof of an effort of reconciliation; a simple utterance of talaq, or the presentation of a written statement stating that the respondent had divorced the plaintiff sometime previously, was not sufficient to effect unilateral divorce.
