All of u mean that muslim husband can not punish for bigamy u/s 494 of IPC or child Marriage.Recently in Shabana bano v/s Imran Khan case SC held that Muslim woman is entiteled for maintenance under the provision of Family court Act after divorce isn't it against the personal law? Thanx 4 sharing ur opinion.
