Supreme Court gives Muslims right to adopt a child - The Times of India


NEW DELHI: In a landmark judgment, the Supreme Court has given Muslims the right to adopt a child despite their personal law prohibiting it.

The apex court said on Wednesday that the laws of land has to get primacy over personal law till the country achieves Uniform Civil Code as provided in Article 44 of the Constitution.

The SC bench said the right to adoption is conferred by a law and operation of this cannot be stultified by a personal law dictate.

The SC judgment comes on an 8 years old petition by Shabnam Hashmi who had approached the apex court after being refused permission to adopt.

Though the SC said all individuals have a statutory right to adopt a child, it said the time is not ripe to declare the right to adopt a fundamental right.

Watch out for the trolls

But it is upto the Individual if they want to follow their religious tenets.

Now I don't know, if adoption is allowed or not (seems strange, I have heard of Muslims adopting before). If citizens of any religion wants to breach their religion (unless it is illegal) They can do so.

Examples include inter religious marriage etc.

It's Land mark judgement. first time law of land has imposed itself over and above personal law ...

This is a great step ....towards legal and constituitional equality ...
Apex court has set tone for uniform Civil Code ....I hope this judgement wont be overturned ...

Indeed . I resent this kind of provocative posts. it is open invitation to trolls and destroys the very purpose of creating thread ...
