SC's Shah Bano judgment came under heavy attack in 1985. As SC now upholds Muslim women's right to maintenance under CrPC Section 125, in addition to the entitlements under Muslim personal law, in Episode 1478 of Cut The Clutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta discusses the latest judgement, its import, political storm caused by the 1985 ruling and why India's journey in Muslim personal law reforms took longer than Pakistan's.

Rajiv Gandhi Screwed Muslim woman in favor of Muslim Men and the same Muslim women still vote for Congress. 😮😮😮
-
India is fortunate that now neither Rajiv Gandhi nor his wife/son is not in power. Otherwise they would have brought another law to nullify this judgement.
-
Maulana Rahul Khan will protest against it.
-
This judgement is big slap to Congress party, who misused majority for changing constitution.
-
Bring in UCC and remove the draconian Waqf Act!
-
Modi Govt needs to act on this God sent opportunity and reverse the Rajiv Gandhi Law and implement at least some form of uniform civil code.
-
It is a tragedy that we even have to discuss these things in courts in India. It is 2024 😅
-
Maulana Rahul will say democracy is dead in supreme court
-
Supreme Court took 38 years to settle on Section 125 Cr. P.C, though it was a uniform Section without religious discrimination.
-
The more i learn about Rajeev Gandhi the worse it gets. What an ego trip this laadla was on
-
Secularism for getting social benefits. Sharia for escaping personal Responsibilities.
-
Well "Khangress" led by Pappu, Kharge, Akhilesh, etc. must shout and do dharna in front of Supreme Court. Along with dynasty bootlicker
-
Did you mention that Rajiv Gandhi “amended the constitution” to overturn SC verdict in the Shah Bano case? The constitution which is so dear to the congress these days?
-
Muslim women must be thankful that Modi is in power.
-
It is a shame to have religion based laws in a secular country
-
Polygamy is still legal for muslim men in secular India. Let that sink in.😂😂
-
Time for Waqf to get nullified.
-
Today there will be no protests by Muslims against this judgement. Times have changed since Rajiv Gandhi threw Muslim women under the bus. This is the change for modernity that Modi has brought among Muslims.
-
It was not secular law it was sickular law
