Shah Bano Case is a compelling story about a lady who, with nothing but honesty and bravery, faced off against her husband, a wealthy lawyer, the powerful Waqf board, and then went all the way to the Supreme Court to defeat them all by herself. Numerous women were able to make valid claims that they had previously been denied thanks to this case.
Shah Bano Case, infact gained international attention and was listed as one of the Top 10 incidents that impacted Indian democracy and the judiciary.
For those who are unaware, the Supreme Court of India decided that, in accordance with Section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, a Muslim woman who has divorced from her husband is still entitled to maintenance from him. The court stated in its ruling that it is a right and not a charity. This is one of the several Supreme Court decisions that have empowered Muslim women in India.
