Supreme Court Rules Sharia and Kazi Courts Have No Legal Standing, Grants Rs 2,500 Maintenance to Muslim Woman

The Supreme Court of India has ruled that Sharia courts, including those referred to as 'Kazi courts,' 'Darul Qaza,' or 'Kaziayat courts,' have no legal recognition or enforceable authority under Indian law. Their directions and fatwas are not binding. The court has affirmed that such Islamic court judgments do not hold legal validity. In a related decision, the family court granted maintenance of Rs 2,500 to a Muslim woman and her two children following a divorce. This ruling clarifies the legal status of religious courts within the Indian judicial framework and reinforces the exclusive jurisdiction of recognized family courts in such matters.
