Supreme Court Links Muslim Inheritance Challenge to Pending Sabarimala Verdict
The Supreme Court indicated that petitions challenging Muslim inheritance laws as discriminatory against women may need to await the verdict of a nine-judge bench on the Sabarimala reference. The bench noted that constitutional questions about judicial intervention in religious and personal law matters could overlap between the cases. The court is considering whether Parliament or the judiciary should address these issues, particularly under Article 25(2)(b), which allows legislative reform for social welfare. The Centre will respond within a week.
