The Supreme Court (SC) by a majority verdict on Tuesday ruled that the practice of divorce through triple talaq among Muslims is "void", "illegal" and "unconstitutional". The apex court by 3:2 verdict held that the triple talaq is against the basic tenets of Quran.

Always one to speak out on public issues, former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif took to social media to express his happiness at the landmark judgement.

"Welcome decision by Supreme Court to declare #TripleTalaq unconstitutional. Will give Muslim women security. Gender justice is much needed," wrote Kaif on Twitter.

As expected, though, the former right-handed middle-order batsman had to face his fair share of nasty comments by trolls who were obviously unhappy with the SC verdict.

"Kaif babu jis chiz ki jaankari na ho us par tweet mat kiya karo (You shouldn't tweet on matters you don't have much knowledge about)," was Shahid Jamal's free advice.

"SC says #TripleTalaq is against Quran so how about saying Vande Mataram that is also against basic Quran of There is no God but Allah," wrote Saquib Hamza.

Kaif, on his part, couldn't give two hoots about these bigots and didn't at all react to such trolls. In fact, his presence on social media was undeterred as he put out yet another socially conscious tweet on Wednesday morning.

"2 train derailments within a week. There has to be an accountability. "Chalta hai" attitude disappointing. Innocent lives lost #KaifiyatExpress," wrote Kaif.

Trolls harassing Muslim cricketers in India has become a trend of sorts lately. Mohammed Shami faced backlash recently for posting 'un-Islamic' pictures of his daughters birthday. The premier Indian fast-bowler was also trolled for posting pictures of his wife wearing a sleeveless gown.

One of India's finest all-rounders Irfan Pathan was hounded for sharing a picture in which his wife could be seen wearing nail-polish, and also for posting a picture with a Rakhi tied to his hand on Raksha Bandhan. While Kaif himself was once trolled for doing the Surya Namaskar.
