51:50Now PlayingIn a controversial ruling that has sparked outrage among legal experts and activists, the Madhya Pradesh High Court in India denied protection for an interfaith Hindu-Muslim couple seeking to get married, declaring their marriage invalid under Muslim Personal Law. Citing the interpretation that a Muslim man cannot validly marry a Hindu woman considered an "idolatress or fire-worshiper," Justice G.S. Ahluwalia stated "As per Mahomedan law, the marriage of a Muslim boy with a girl who is an idolatress or a fire-worshipper is not a valid marriage. Even if the marriage is registered under the Special Marriage Act, the marriage would no longer be a valid marriage, and it would be an irregular (fasid) marriage." The ruling directly contradicts the intent of India's secular Special Marriage Act of 1954 which aims to enable interfaith unions, with critics arguing the court's definition of "prohibited relationship" under the law is flawed and discriminatory towards non-Muslim partners.
