After the Supreme Court’s historic judgment of September 28, 2018, which allowed women of all ages to enter the Sabarimala temple in Kerala, thus ending an age-old practice, it is the turn of Muslim women. On October 25, the Supreme Court sought a response from the centre by November 5 on a plea filed by Yasmeen Zuber Ahmad Peerzade and Zuber Ahmad Nazir Ahmad Peerzade, a Pune-based couple. The PIL sought entry of Muslim women into mosques and said that such a restriction was “unconstitutional” and violative of fundamental rights to life, equality and gender justice.
Based on this plea, a bench of Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi, Justices SA Bobde and SA Nazeer had issued notices to the centre, Union ministries of Women and Child Welfare, Law and Justice and Minority Affairs and the National Commission for Women in April this year, but no response was forthcoming. They now have to respond by November 5. The bench also issued notices to the All-India Muslim Personal Law Board, Central Waqf Council and Maharashtra State Board of Waqf.

Till Infertility Do Us Part...

IS THAT LEGAL?
Ignorance of law is no excuse. Here are answers to frequently asked queries regarding matters that affect us on a day-to-day basis
The Big Lie
In America, The Big Lie is an idiom used by Donald Trump's opponents and the media to describe his constant gripe about election fraud. Now, it seems more suited to another Republican, Congressman George Santos (right), who has been facing growing calls to resign after he admitted fabricating parts of his resume and biography since his election in New York last year.
Flying into the Sunset
Over 50 years since the first and original jumbo jet, the Boeing 747, took to the skies and revolutionized air travel, the last of the legendary aircraft (right) was delivered to a freight charter company, bringing down the curtain on one of aviation's most successful products.

Actor and producer Alec Baldwin is a Hollywood legend, having starred in a range of movies, award winning TV sitcoms, and theatre. He was most recently seen in Mission Impossible Fallout, which is an apt description of his current situation.

Myanmar's Misery
Two years after the military coup ousted the elected government led by Aung San Suu Kyi, the brutal crackdown by the junta on so-called \"insurgents\" and civilian protesters has reached a new level with the use of air strikes, a new and deadly tactic in the ongoing civil war.
AMERICA'S ANGST
From messy, divisive politics to a series of mass shootings, and now black officers brutally beating another black man to death as seen in bodycam videos, America's domestic convulsions are cause for serious introspection
JUSTICE LEAGUE
There are few judicial appointment procedures in the world that are completely bereft of the overarching presence of either the executive or the legislature, or both. In the end, the judge is left with all the powers vested in him/her by the constitution to uphold the rule of law, within an atmosphere of external influences
