Which of the following case does not pertain to maintenance of Muslim women?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
"Ahmedabad Women Action Group v. Union of India (1997)" was a public interest litigation challenging gender-discriminatory provisions of Hindu, Muslim and Christian personal laws generally (polygamy, unilateral talaq, inheritance), which the Court declined to entertain as a matter of State policy; it did not concern maintenance. "Mohd. Ahmed Khan v. Shah Bano Begum (1985)", "Danial Latifi v. Union of India (2001)" and "Shabana Bano v. Imran Khan (2009)" all deal with the maintenance of divorced Muslim women under Section 125 CrPC and the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act, 1986.
