Can you provide a summary of the judgment in the Shah Bano case and its implications?
Certainly, the Shah Bano case is a landmark judgment from the Supreme Court of India. It established that a Muslim woman is entitled to maintenance from her ex-husband under Section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, regardless of the provisions of Muslim personal law. This judgment ignited a debate about a uniform civil code and led to the enactment of the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act, 1986.
