The Supreme Court has sought the Centre’s response to a Public Interest Litigation seeking a ban on polygamy among Muslims and stronger legal protection for women whose husbands marry again while their first marriage is still in force, a TOI report stated.
A bench headed by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and comprising Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana issued notice to the Centre on Friday after briefly hearing arguments from advocate Shriya Mani, who appeared for petitioner Zakia Soman.
