‘Unnatural approach’: AIMPLB’s Mohd. Sulaiman on SC maintenance rights for divorced muslim women

In response to the Supreme Court's observation that Muslim women can seek maintenance from their husbands under Section 125 of the CrPC, Mohd.

Sulaiman, a founding member of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, commented on the legal and religious implications.

He referenced the Shah Bano case of 1985, which led to new legislation, but emphasised that the interpretation of this law is determined by the higher judiciary.

Sulaiman pointed out that the judiciary's stance suggests religious guarantees alone are insufficient for women’s protection.

He acknowledged that while some women might prefer court decisions for maintenance, the issue remains that divorce under Islamic law doesn't finalise separation, preventing women from remarrying, which he deemed unnatural.
