Supreme Court verdict is against moral values and Eastern culture. Apex Court is trying to allow illicit sex by way of law
ANDALIB AKHTER / NEW DELHI
All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has expressed serious concern and apprehension over recent Supreme Court verdicts on Adultery and homosexuality saying such ruling will lead to a major crisis in the society and diminish family structure of India.
“Physical relationship with a married woman or married men having illicit sex apart from their spouse is considered a crime in any religion, to prove such filthy act as Fare and support and support by mean of law is inappropriate. This will lead to a major crisis in the society and diminish family structure also it lead to the birth of illegal child” said Maulana Wali Rahmani, General Secretary, All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) adding that it would be like Western countries where a good number of such children find it difficult to name their father.
“We have to decide what kind of society we want in our country; a Virtuous society with modesty or a society follows nudity and illicit acts”?
Rahmani also wondered live-in relationship, same gender sex and married men and women illicit sex with their consent is allowed but to marry more than one woman is treated as violence on women and people demand ban on it.
“In the presence of legal spouse having sex with the other woman is justified by the Honorable Court and is no more a crime, then how it is a violence on women to award a status of wife with modesty and respect ”? asks Maulana Rahmani.
The verdicts are clear indication that India is pushing towards the western culture and values, physical relationship of married women with the consent as free sex permission granted by law which is never going to be appeased in the Indian culture, observed Maulana Rahmani.
Supreme Court Thursday has struck down as unconstitutional Section 497 of the Indian Penal Code that had criminalised adultery for 158 years. Section 198(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure is also struck down. In both cases, the court has found that the woman was robbed of agency and reduced to a chattel. Law which allows only men to have agency and the right to be aggrieved is unacceptable at a time when sexual relations are understood to be between equals.
Earlier apex court struck down Section 377, which had decriminalised gay sex
