23:15Now PlayingIn an appalling violation of a Muslim woman's rights, the Allahabad High Court in India has ruled that her live-in relationship with a Hindu man constitutes the acts of "zina and haram" (fornication and sin forbidden by Islam) - despite the woman being effectively abandoned by her husband Mohsin two years ago when he took a second wife. In India, Muslims are governed by the Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) Application Act of 1937 for matters related to personal affairs like marriage, divorce, inheritance, etc. This law codified existing sharia laws derived from Islamic texts and made them applicable to Muslims in India. Rejecting the couple's plea for protection from threats against their lives by the woman's father and relatives, the court took the audacious step of imposing an extremely regressive judgment on the woman. Justice Renu Agarwal shockingly declared "Such a type of criminal act cannot be supported and protected by the Court" and stated the woman could potentially face prosecution under sections 494 and 495 of the Indian Penal Code for the offenses of marrying again during her husband's lifetime, even though Mohsin had already married another woman himself. The judges arrogantly claimed the woman is still "Muslim by religion" and did not apply to convert, using this to deny her autonomy over her personal life after being mistreated and deserted by her birth family. This deplorable judgment brazenly weaponizes religious law as a tool of control against a woman who is the victim of abandonment by both her husband and father.
