Woman has right to end nikah, says Kerala HC; AIMPLB calls order ‘unacceptable’

AIMPLB has taken exception to a Kerala high court order earlier this week that a Muslim woman has the right to terminate her nikah (marriage) herself and does not necessarily need her husband’s consent. AIMPLB general secretary Maulana Khalid Saifullah Rehmani said in a statement that the HC in the particular case did not interpret the provisions of the Sharia but “instead tried to legislate over the same, which was unacceptable to the board”.
