Which of the following Muslim Laws applies in India ?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
In India, Muslim law applies only to personal matters such as marriage, divorce, maintenance, inheritance, gifts, wakfs and pre-emption. The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act, 1986 is an Indian statute in force that governs a divorced Muslim woman's right to "a reasonable and fair provision and maintenance".
Criminal law, evidence and sale of goods are governed by general laws applicable to all, such as the Penal Code, the Evidence Act and the Sale of Goods Act, 1930, so the Muslim penal, evidence and sales laws do not apply.
