The practise of "Talaq-e-bid'ah" (or instant triple talaq) was deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of India in the historic Shayara Bano case, popularly known as the "Triple Talaq case," in 2017. In this custom, the husband divorced his wife immediately by saying the word "talaq" three times in a row. According to the ruling, this type of talaq was arbitrary and went against the Constitution's guarantee of equality. Because Talaq-e-bid'ah was pronounced unlawful in this instance rather than being supported under the constitution, Option C is erroneous. hence option C is the correct option.
