> The whole issue is created just to promote some falsehood that the muslims > have these wonderful laws for themselves ...bla..bla You're missing the point completely. It is not that it is wonderful or not. The point is that the laws are against human rights, and if Muslim majority countries have realised this and replacing it with more modern laws, why is it that a majority of Indian Muslims cling to them, which serve only to highlight the differences between the communities. They want to be considered no different from any other Indian but actively seek to reinforce their differences. One of the reasons (and probably the most major reason) why some countries in Europe are banning (or have banned) the purdah and/or hijab, because it reinforces differences and because it does, it creates stereotypes, increases discrimination etc etc. The end result being that the Muslim community takes longer to integrate into the greater whole or doesn't at all. > Some simple things like inheritances etc (that are acceptable inside a > muslim family) may not be acceptable to the hindu family. > > Then there are the laws that govern marriages.
