The All India Muslim Personal Law Board on Monday sought impleadment in the challenge to the constitutionality of the practices of ‘Nikah halala’ and polygamy which is pending before the Supreme Court.
Urging that its viewpoint be considered as it has been “working continuously for protecting the Muslim personal law which is part of the Islamic culture and tradition”, it stresses that the Muslim personal law is inextricably woven with the religion of Islam and hence, it is a matter of freedom of conscience guaranteed under Article 25, 2 and 29 of the Constitution.
