Unconditional undertaking
The Bombay High Court on Monday decided to interview the 15-yearold Muslim girl whose marriage was stalled by the Ghatkopar police in December last year after it received a complaint saying the girl was a minor and her marriage was in violation of the Child Marriage Prohibition Act.
The High Court has also issued notice to the Additional Solicitor General in order to decide the legality of the petition filed by the girls mother,Zakia Begum,in which she had contended that Muslims in India were entitled to marry on attaining puberty as per his or her choice,and that freedom was integral part of their fundamental rights.
The judges observed that this was an important issue that challenged certain provisions of the Constitution,and the Union of India should be made a party in this matter. The girl,who was produced before the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) in Mankhurd,was sent to a welfare home in Andheri.Her parents had then moved the High Court. A division bench of Justices D B Bhosale and A R Joshi will speak to the girl in their chamber next Monday afternoon and verify if she was forced into the marriage or consented to it before deciding to hand her over to her parents.
Senior lawyer Yusuf Muchchhala,appearing for the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (MPLB),sought the girls release from the private home in Andheri and requested the court that she be handed over to her parents.He argued that while the law clearly states that the girls interests must be protected,keeping her in the welfare home goes contrary to this as she is being punished.
The girl has been lodged in the welfare home since December.She is a school-going child who is being punished for no fault of hers, said Muchchhala.He also apprised the court of the willingness of the girls parents to give unconditional undertaking that they will not marry her off till she attains the eligible age.The lawyer requested the court to grant interim relief in this case and allow the girl to be with her parents.
