It took 3 seconds for Lubna’s husband to divorce her. All he had to do was say the word ‘talaq’ (divorce) three times and the divorce was final. Today, Lubna works with a grassroots organisation advocating for a ban on triple divorce amidst opposition from the conservative religious leaders. 3 Seconds Divorce tells the story of an Indian Muslim who spearheaded the movement for ban on triple-divorce, a practice attributed to sharia that makes it legal for Muslim men to divorce their wives instantly, orally and one-sidedly by simply stating the word ‘ talaq’ three times.
