AIMPLB Meeting: A meeting of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) was held in Delhi on Sunday (14 July 2024), in which 51 members participated. Muslim Personal Law Board spokesperson Syed Qasim Rasool Ilyas said that several proposals have been made in this meeting. He said that the first proposal is regarding the Supreme Court’s decision to grant alimony to Muslim women under Section 125 of the CrPC.
AIMPLB unhappy with Supreme Court’s decision
Syed Qasim said, “The recent Supreme Court decision conflicts with Sharia law. Muslims are bound by Sharia law. They cannot do anything that conflicts with Sharia. We have realized that there is Hindu Code Bill for Hindus, Sharia Law for Muslims. The Constitution provides a fundamental right to live life according to religion. This judgment will harm women. It has been mentioned in the proposal that the board will try to roll back this decision.”
Muslim Personal Law Board spokesperson Syed Qasim said, “If a man knows that he has to pay alimony after divorce, he will not divorce the woman and will continue to harass her without divorce. We will challenge this. This is not in the interest of the common man. The Supreme Court’s decision clashes with Sharia law.”
“Alimony will become a problem for women”
He said, “Indian Muslims follow Sharia. The issue of alimony clashes with Sharia. Divorce is considered extremely bad in Islam, but divorce happens. In India, there is a law for Hindus, for us there is Muslim Personal Law. The Constitution of India provides this freedom. The decision of the Supreme Court will become a problem for women.”
Regarding the second proposal, he said that we will challenge the UCC of Uttarakhand. He said, “If the central or state government wants to do something in this direction regarding UCC, then they should avoid it. People will face problems due to the UCC of Uttarakhand.
AIMPLB regarding Worship Act
The spokesperson of the Muslim Personal Law Board said, “If there is an attempt to abolish the Waqf Board law, there will be strong opposition to it. We have not accepted the Babri Masjid decision till date because the court itself said that the mosque was not built by demolishing a temple. We thought that after the Babri Masjid case, the cases would stop because there is the 1991 Worship Act, but the cases are not stopping. We want the court to look into the matter properly.”
