Should polygamy among Muslims be banned, SC seeks Centre's viewpoint

NEW DELHI: Supreme Court which is already examining petitions challenging the practice of talaq-e-hasan, Friday sought the Centre’s view on a new PIL seeking a ban on polygamy among Muslims and securing the rights of women, aggrieved by marriage of Muslim husbands during subsistence of first marriage, over the matrimonial home and maintenance.A bench of CJI Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana issued notice to govt on a PIL by Zakia Soman after briefly hearing her counsel Shriya Mani. It tagged the petition for hearing along with other PILs raising similar challenges to provisions in Sharia or Muslim personal law.
