Subject: INDIA ORDERS MUSLIMS TO
OBEY HINDOO LAW HC rules Muslim women entitled for maintenance Press Trust of India Allahabad, February 4, 2005 http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/181_1228325,00080001.htm Ruling that women of the minority community cannot be discriminated against in the matter of providing alimony, the Allahabad High Court has asked one Islam to pay maintenance to his estranged wife. Asking Islam to pay Rs 1,000 as alimony to his wife, Fatima, Justice SN Srivastava held that the Hindu law provides for maintenance in such cases and Muslim women are also therefore entitled to it under the Constitution. The Constitution mandates that there can not be any discrimination on the basis of caste, creed or religion, the court observed. The Court, he ruled, could grant interim maintenance to them despite the fact that there was no such specific provision under the Muslim law. "The Court cannot be a mere passive pronouncer of judgement unconcerned with the actual effective implementation," he said. Earlier, a trial court of Ghazipur had granted a sum of Rs 1,000 per month as interim maintenance to Fatima, but Islam objected to it on the ground that there was no provision for granting interim maintenance under the Muslim law. http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/181_1228325,00080001.htm *************************************************************************** {Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.} (Holy Quran-16:125) {And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33) The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim] The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
