Muslim women have the option of claiming maintenance under Section 125 CrPC (secular provision) instead of relying solely on Muslim personal law. This was settled in Shah Bano case (1985) and later through the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act, 1986 as interpreted by the SC in Danial Latifi (2001).

  1. 1 Pick up CrPC.
  2. 2 Go to Section 125.
  3. 3 Verify: applies to 'any person' (including Muslim women) — the provision is religion-neutral.
