DIVORCE

Hindu women and Muslim women, although they are all Indian citizens, do not get equal advantages in law. In Hindu law men cannot have more than one wife but Muslim men can have two, three, four, etc. wives. Both Hindu wives and husbands have to go to court to get a divorce, but Muslim men don’t have to go to court to secure a divorce. Moreover Muslim men can divorce their wives but Muslim women cannot divorce their husbands. Also it is [not] necessary for Muslim men to give any reason for their divorce.
