After facing an acid attack on Thursday at Bulandshehar in Uttar Pradesh, a petitioner in the nilkah h🥂alala and triple ♛talaq case filed a plea in the Supreme Court seeking protection, which the court on Friday has agreed to hear on September 17.
A bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices A M Khanwikar and D Y Chandrachud considered the plea of Shabnam Rani, who was attacked allegedly by h🎃er brother-in-law and has been hospitalised. She has also sought better healt🌸h care.
The court asked advocate Ashwini K🎐umar Upadhyay, counsel for Rani, to submit 🦹a copy of the petition to the Centre and the Uttar Pradesh government.
Numerous petitions have been filed in the apex court ch﷽allenging the prevalent practices of nikah halala and polygamy among Muslims saying it was violative of fundamental rights guaranteed under the Constitution.
While polygamy allows a Muslim man to have four wives, 'nikah halala' deals with the process in which a Muslim woman, who wants to re-𓄧marry her husband after divorce, has to first marry another person and get a divorce from the second person after the consummation.
In her plea against nikah halala and polygamy, Rani had aไlleged that her husband divorced giving her triple talaq and forced to perform nikah hala with her brother-in-law.
