Muslim Community criticise SC ruling over second marriage

Jaipur

Reacting towards the Supreme Court's ruling, upholding as illegal the second marriage by a Muslim employee of Rajasthan government, a state-based forum of the community today said the order amounted to interference with the Muslim Personal Law. As reported by Press State Of India.

"With due respect to the Supreme Court, we would like to say that the decision is shocking for the Muslim community because it is a direct interference with the Muslim Personal Law recognised from the Constitution," Rajasthan Muslim Forum (RMF) Convener Qari Mueenuddin said.

On January 29, the Supreme Court ruled that if a government employee remarries without permission, the erring persons could lose his job. The SC withheld the decision from the Rajasthan High Court, justifying the termination of a Rajasthan Police Constable Liyaqat Ali as he married second time without divorcing his first wife.
