Madras High Court bans Sharia courts in TN

A Khap is a community organisation representing a clan or a group of related clans. They are found mostly in northern India, particularly among the Jat community of Western UP & Haryana although historically the term has also been used among other communities. It is an assembly of Khap elders, and a Sarv Khap is an assembly of many Khap Panchayats.

Khaps are not affiliated with the formally elected government bodies and is instead concerned with the affairs of the Khap it represents. It is not affiliated with the democratically elected local assemblies that are also termed Panchayat. A Khap Panchayat has no official government recognition or authority, but can exert significant social influence within the community it represents.

The Khaps evolved as tribal and village administrations. The Supreme Court has declared Khap Panchayats to be illegal because they often decree or encourage honour killings or other institutionalised atrocities against boys and girls of different castes and religions who wish to get married or have married.

Lately they have emerged as quasi-judicial bodies that pronounce harsh punishments based on age-old customs and traditions, often bordering on regressive measures to modern problems.

So essentially similar extra judicial body as a Sharia court, Just that it's based on tribal connotations rather than religious dogma

I cannot see how it's quasi juducial though if the supreme court of India declared them illegal
 
there is just one problem,if the divorce given is not a religious divorce,the couple is still considered as married in the eyes of islam
so,if they wanna marry other people,they gotta have an islamic divorce
and this can not be changed(i mean if you follow islam that is)

It has to be changed.


In Hinduism if a you are married then you are husband and wife for next 7 janams when we can sideline it and make a feasible society as per Kalyug then why cannot Muslims?

Khap panchayat is a social order and its part of our fundamental freedom to hold one.

Courts cannot out law a khap panchayat.

The only one making it communal is YOU by dragging in Khap panchayat in a thread about Sharia courts.

Shameless Hypocrite.



Khap panchayat are illegal, holds no legal bounds.
 
[QUOTE="PlugnPlay, post: 9029601, member: 180150"khap one except you have claimed they hold legal bounds. Anything else ?[/QUOTE]


You are making a statement in reference to khap Panchayat on one post.. and in other post you are saying Panchayat are elected xyz... khap Panchayat nothing but sharia laws.. we should abolish such illegal kangaroo courts .
 
sharia courts and jirga both need to be banned in Pakistan as well...
 
Some people are getting confused between Khap Panchayats and Panchayat municipal boards where a village head is elected or nominated for a term of 5 years, and a group of village heads in turn select a Municipal chairman. This is how it is done.
 
Well done,There can be no room for kangaroo courts overruling national judiciary

Madras High Court bans Sharia courts in TN

The Madras High Court on Monday directed the Tamil Nadu government to ban all unauthorised 'Sharia' courts functioning on premises of mosques in the state while hearing a petition of a man who was allegedly forced to give talaq by one such court in the city.

The court today said that religious places were meant only for religious purposes and ordered the state government to ensure that such courts do not function and file a status report by January 19 - next hearing.

The Madras High Court passed the order after hearing a plea filed by Abdur Rahman, a non-resident Indian from the UK, stating that a large number of innocent Muslims were suffering because of the functioning of 'Makkah Masjid Sharia Council' in Chennai and similar forums across Tamil Nadu that were functioning like judicial forums.

Mr Rahman, who sought a direction to stop the functioning of Makkah Masjid Sharia Council, said he had approached the Sharia council to reunite with his wife, but was forced by the council to sign a letter of Talaq. He however has now approached the family court for an appropriate remedy.

Though the Supreme Court has declared such bodies as illegal, the number of disputes entertained by such Sharia councils exceed a few hundred every year, the plea said.

Mr Rahman, in his plea, contended that such "kangaroo courts" deceptively dissolve marriages of many and even deal with property disputes and creates a sense of religious fear in the mind of Muslims for any disobedience.

The court observed that such places of worship - whether it be temple, mosque or church - when used as extra-judicial forums, certainly the authorities are duty bound to take action against them. (ndtv)
