'Muslim marriage is a contract, which can take many forms'- Karnataka HC

  • The Karnataka High Court has clarified that a Muslim marriage is a contract, which can take many forms.
  • The court said that it is not a sacrament like a Hindu marriage. Breach of contract does not eliminate responsibilities.
  • It said, "In such a situation, the right of the ex-wife to get alimony in special circumstances after divorce is indisputable."
  • The court made it clear that even after the marriage bond is broken through a divorce.
  • It further added that all the obligations and duties of the parties are not completely abolished.
