The Kerala High Court has held that a husband’s consent or acceptance is immaterial when a Muslim wife invokes khula, and that a Family Court asked to endorse it need only check three ingredients rather than hold a detailed inquiry.
Justice Sanjeev Narula of the Delhi High Court has refused to quash an FIR under Section 64(1) of the BNS and Section 6 of POCSO against a man who married a 16-year-old girl, holding that a marriage recognised under Muslim personal law confers no immunity, since the age of eighteen under POCSO and the BNS cannot be replaced by puberty.
