The then Sessions court heard the revision challenging the order and issued the final order.
According to their ruling, divorced Muslim women are entitled to alimony from their husbands under Section 125 of the criminal Procedure Code. Orders were issued that divorced women would have this right until they remarried.
After the introduction of the Muslim women Act, the petitioner's husband's case must be subject to this law. According to Section 3 4 of the law mentioned by the Sessions court, only a divorced Muslim woman can get alimony.
