IndiaTimes Thursday, 30 May 2024
Madhya Pradesh HC has ruled that marriage between a Muslim man and a Hindu woman is an "irregular (Fasid)" marriage according to Muslim personal law and it remains so even if the marriage is performed under Special Marriage Act. "Marriage under Special Marriage Act would not legalise the marriage, which is otherwise prohibited under Muslim personal law," stated Justice G S Ahluwalia.

POPE FRANCIS’ LEGACY: LGBTQ Support, 2013 Foot-Washing, Clergy Apologies & Church Reform

Pope Francis will be remembered as one of the most transformative figures in modern Church history. From washing the feet of Muslim prisoners to declaring homosexuality "not a crime," he shattered centuries of convention. Francis stood with the marginalized, lived humbly, and redefined papal leadership. He demanded accountability for clergy abuse, apologized to Indigenous communities, and led global reforms. A voice of compassion in a rigid institution, Pope Francis broke walls—and built bridges. His legacy lives on in every act of inclusion, humility, and courage. #PopeFrancis #CatholicChurch #FaithAndChange #LGBTQ #VaticanReform #ChurchHistory #BreakingTradition #HolyThursday #ManOfTheYear #GlobalFaith #FrancisLegacy #SpiritualReform #Inclusion #ChildAbuseAccountability #JesuitPope #Vatican #ReligionNews #HumanDignity #PapalReform #Christianity #ReligiousLeadership #Forgiveness #ClergyAbuse #VaticanSummit #HistoricPope #PapalLegacy #SocialJustice #HumbleLeadership #ChurchAndChange #PopeOfThePeople #PopeFrancis2025 Also Read Paris Mourns Pope Francis: Eiffel Tower To Go Dark In Memory Of Pontiff :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/paris-mourns-pope-francis-eiffel-tower-to-go-dark-in-memory-of-pontiff-4129893.html?ref=DMDesc Pope Francis Net Worth: Catholic Spiritual Leader's Simple Lifestyle, How Much He Used To Donate From Salary :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pope-francis-net-worth-catholic-spiritual-leaders-simple-lifestyle-how-much-he-used-to-donate-fro-4129709.html?ref=DMDesc Pope Francis Remembered: 10 Lesser-Known Facts About The First Jesuit Pope :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pope-francis-remembered-10-lesser-known-facts-about-the-first-jesuit-pope-4129701.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.408~
