Right decision by the Hon'ble Apex Court. Everyone should respect the verdict of the Hon'ble Apex Court.

Congress will repeal once it comes to power and Muslim women will vote for congress in any case.

Islam badly needs Reforms in order to protect Humanity

It's quite clear that SC judges are islamophobic. As a secular guy, i condemn this verdict. This is against the minorities and Ganga jamuni tehzeeb of india. Indian democracy have clearly failed to protect minorities and their rights. I want government of India re appeal the judgement as Rajiv Gandhi ji did. 🙏

Muslim elected politicians in India took the oath to follow and protect the Indian Constitution but when the Supreme Court of India ruled that all women including MUSLIM WOMEN ARE ENTITLED AS A RIGHT TO LIFELONG ALIMONY WHEN DIVORCED BY THEIR HUSBANDS the same Elected Muslim Politicians are going to the same Supreme Court to APPEAL AGAINST THE DECISION by SAYING THAT MUSLIM SHARIAH LAWS WILL SUPERCEDE THE PROVISIONS OF THE CONSTITUTION WHICH STATES THAT ALL ARE ENTITLED TO RIGHTS AS PROVIDED AND THAT CONSTRUCTION ID SUPREME AND SUPERCEDES PERSONAL LAWS.
Among the reasons given is that HUSBANDS MAY NOT DIVORCE THEIR WIVES TO AVOID ALIMONY PAYMENTS AND THUS THIS MAY RESULT IN WIVES CONTINUING TO SUFFER.
Most Muslim women are reported to be in favour and welcoming the Supreme Court decision but most Muslim politicians and Ulamas and Maulvis and Ustads are objecting but there are exceptions where some women are reported to be against the alimony decision and also some Muslims including Maulvis who support the Supreme Court decision.
Views of Islamic scholars from Saudi Arabia and other Muslim Majority countries and OIC are not known as no available reports in media.

Bless all
