The Impressive TimesSupreme Court on Wednesday ruled that a divorced Muslim woman is entitled to seek maintenance from her husband under Section 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC). The court clarified that the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act, 1986, will not override this secular law, ensuring that divorced Muslim women have the right to claim maintenance from their former husbands under CrPC. This ruling emphasizes the application of a uniform legal standard for maintenance, reinforcing the financial security and rights of divorced Muslim women.
