Gender justice is the essence of the Indian democracy ; it stands for the equality of the status between men and women in all sphere of the society. It is the spirit of the social justice. On August 22, 2017 in the case of Shayara Bano and others v. Union of India and other historical judgment has been passed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India which declared the triple talaq as arbitrary and unconstitutional under the Muslim Law. The Judgment is based upon the gender justice who will prohibit the Muslim men calling off their marriage on a whim. And another judgment passed in the case of Indian Young Lawyer’s Association & Ors. V.
