Supreme Court On Muslim Women | Pew Poll In Indian Democracy | Muslim Women Law LIVE News | N18L
The Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled that divorced Muslim women in the country have the right to claim maintenance under Section 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), saying that the “secular” provision is applicable to all married women irrespective of their religion.
The decision came in response to a challenge by a Muslim man from Telangana who contested a High Court order to pay Rs 10,000 in interim maintenance to his former wife. Justices BV Nagarathna and Augustine George Masih delivered separate but concurrent judgments, affirming the applicability of Section 125 CrPC to all women.
