The All India Muslim Personal law Board (AIMPlB) on Monday told the Supreme Court that pleas challenging the practices of triple talaq, ‘nikah halala’ and polygamy among Muslims were not maintainable as the issues fell outside the realm of judiciary.
The Board said the validity of Mohammedan law, founded essentially on the Holy Quran and sources based on it, cannot be tested on the particular provisions of the Constitution.
It said there was a need for ‘judicial restraint’ before going into constitutional interpretation of these unless such an exercise becomes unavoidable.
