The Allahabad High Court held that Muslim men can’t be punished for bigamy under Mohammedan law. It observed that although the Quran allows polygamy for just reasons, men often misuse it for selfish purposes.
The Supreme Court ruled that gifts under Mohammedan law do not need to be registered to be valid. It stated that an unregistered gift deed is valid as long as the basic conditions of a gift are fulfilled. This decision upholds the unique rules of Mohammedan law regarding gifts. The court emphasized the value of traditional practices over formal paperwork.
The Supreme Court of India is set to address the rights of Muslim women in matters of succession amid efforts to introduce a Uniform Civil Code and the invalidation of triple talaq. The court will examine whether Muslim women can claim equality in succession and implications of bequeathing estates, with the hearing set for July 25.
