The Supreme Court has ruled that a divorced Muslim woman is entitled to all properties, gold, and money given by her family or husband before, during, or after marriage, reinforcing financial protection and social justice for women.
Justice BV Nagarathna on wednesday (10th July) emphasized financial empowerment for homemakers in India, highlighting their vulnerability and dependence on husbands. She urged husbands to recognize their wives’ needs and allocate funds for personal expenses. The Supreme Court upheld a divorced Muslim woman’s right to claim maintenance under Section 125 CrPC, setting a precedent for financial support in such cases.
