SC was hearing an appeal from Muslim woman seeking maintenance for herself & her children under Section 125 of the old CrPC. Court ruled in her favour, granting maintenance.
Time has changed. The nation's leadership can’t be browbeaten in the manner it was done in 1985-86; old Muslim leadership has been discredited and is slowly disappearing.
The 15-year-old girl had requested release from childcare home so that she could live with her spouse. Judge says marriage is valid as per Islamic Law.
The HC gave the ruling last month on a plea by a Muslim couple, seeking protection of their life & liberty from respective families, who were against the marriage due to age difference.
RJD, once a prominent representative of Mandal politics, now finds itself in a political era where welfare, good governance, and new aspirations are overshadowing old caste equations.
Without a Congress revival, there can be no challenge to the BJP pan-nationally. Modi’s party is growing, and almost entirely at the cost of the Congress.
