## Supreme Court seeks Centre's response
The Supreme Court has sought the Centre's response on a plea to frame guidelines governing all forms of 'talaq'.
## Plea challenges 'Talaq-e-Hasan' validity
The plea also challenges the validity of 'Talaq-e-Hasan', a form of divorce where a Muslim man ends marriage by pronouncing 'talaq' once a month over three months.
## Petition seeks uniform safeguards
The petition urges the Centre to frame uniform procedural safeguards and legally enforceable guidelines for all forms of 'talaq' under Muslim personal law.
## Plea targets constitutional rights
The plea argues that 'Talaq-e-Hasan' violates Articles 14, 15, and 21 of the Constitution by being discriminatory and arbitrary.
## Historical context of 'Talaq-e-Hasan'
In 2017, the Supreme Court declared triple 'talaq' unconstitutional after finding it arbitrary and violative of women's fundamental rights.
## What happens next
The Centre must respond to the Supreme Court's request within the legal timeline to address constitutional concerns about Muslim divorce practices.
## Key takeaway

Supreme Court seeks Centre's response on whether 'Talaq-e-Hasan' violates constitutional rights under Muslim personal law.
