A. Dear Client,
The Muslim personal law validates polygamy for Muslim men in India. A Muslim man can legally have up to 4 wives at a time, as granted by the Quran. However, he must have the capacity to treat all wives equally and justly. If not, the aggrieved wife can seek divorce under the Dissolution of Muslim Marriages Act, 1939 claiming maintenance under Section 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code which applies to all religions and is not specific to any particular religion. The provisions unde ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,
Under Muslim laws, non-testamentary succession is governed by the Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) Application Act, 1973. Muslim does not create any distinction between the rights of men and women. On the death of their ancestor, nothing can prevent both girl and boy child to become the legal heirs of inheritable property. However, it is generally found that the quantum of the share of a female heir is half of that of the male heirs. The daughter cannot again claim over the property, i ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,
Under Islamic law, Khula is a way for a Muslim woman to initiate a divorce without her husband's consent by returning the mahr or dowry that she received at the time of marriage. Unlike talaq, which is the right of a husband to unilaterally divorce his wife, khula empowers the wife to initiate the divorce process. It is important to note that khula can only be initiated by the wife and not the husband. Once the mahr or dowry is returned, the marriage is considered permanently disso ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,
This legislation in India acknowledges polygamy for Muslim men. According to this law, a Muslim man is legally allowed to have up to four wives simultaneously, following the principles outlined in the Quran. However, it is a requirement that he possesses the ability to treat all his wives with fairness and justice. In cases where this equality is not maintained, an aggrieved wife has the option to seek divorce under the Dissolution of Muslim Marriages Act, 1939.
