MP High Court: 'Hindu-Muslim Marriage Invalid Under Muslim Law Despite Special Marriage Act'

In a significant ruling, the Madhya Pradesh High Court declared that a marriage between a Hindu woman and a Muslim man is invalid under Muslim personal law, even if registered under the Special Marriage Act.

This verdict came as the Court dismissed a plea by an interfaith couple seeking police protection to register their marriage under the Special Marriage Act.

The couple, represented by counsel Dinesh Kumar Upadhayay, aimed to secure their union officially but faced legal hurdles due to conflicting personal laws.

Watch to learn more about this controversial decision and its implications.
