Talk:Mohd. Ahmed Khan v. Shah Bano Begum

Ram Janmabhoomi
What started out as a side reference to Rajiv Gandhi's politics during the period has been augmented to an unnecessary detailing. Should be condensed to stay relevant to this article. Nshuks7 (talk) 13:26, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

NPOV issues
Article currently has following sentences: ''The Congress government, lead by Rajiv Gandhi, panicked at the reaction of the Muslims. With elections around the corner, the Congress government did not want to lose the Muslim Vote Bank.''

I propose something like "The Congress government, led by Rajiv Gandhi, passed an Act of Parliament which said (whatever). Critics strongly contend that this was done as an appeasement measure (etc)".

Words like "panic" are strong POV, and ""did not want to" is projection. I agree that this case evokes strong emotions, but please let's keep the Wikipedia article as neutral as possible. --12.210.203.64 22:53, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)


 * Go ahead. It's a looooot less POV than it used to be --Ankur 14:59, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)


 * This article is wrong, it neglects the facts and the proviso given in the MWPRDA of 1986 which allows Muslim wives to be given maintenance until death or remarriage. See Ali v Sufaira 1988 (2) KLT 94. If we can keep this topic from being politicised it is paramount to look at the facts!  Especially the contribution from the KLT!  This is not POV I am submitting, it is the legal reality.  82.35.57.169 14:01, 5 January 2006 (UTC)BROWN

I believe so for the following reasons:
 * 1) Both the articles revolve around the same legal issue in India and its the Shah Bano judgment which led to this Act.
 * 2) Discussion of one with the other is incomplete.
 * 3) The challenge to the constitutional validity of this act in Daniel Latifi case has to be discussed in the Shah Bano article as well.
 * 4) The political situation around this act is also based on the Shah Bano Article.Mohit Singh (talk) 15:25, 3 May 2014 (UTC)


 * comment as the articles currently stand, I would support a merger, but I am yet unconvinced that they cannot both be built into stand alone articles. Yes, there would be a lot of overlap, but they are distinct topics. Thoughts? Vanamonde93 (talk) 05:45, 17 August 2014 (UTC)


 * oppose I think they deserve independent articles. Although related they are not identical topic. Jyoti (talk) 05:43, 27 May 2014 (UTC)


 * oppose Mohd. Ahmed Khan v. Shah Bano Begum - This is just the case law & part of the act now.


 * 1) You are right that Shah Bano judgment which led to this Act. Therefore I think this article (Mohd. Ahmed Khan v. Shah Bano Begum) may become the part of " The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act 1986.

The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act 1986 is having broader criteria & Scope. Though the Mohd. Ahmed Khan v. Shah Bano Begum is just one of the case of great importance and become the part of thiS act now. so ...

Do You really think that an act become the part of case law ? or case law become the part of the act? Priyadarshivishal23 (talk) 13:28, 8 July 2015 (UTC)priyadarshivishal23

A merger of the two articles would be great since one was the causal link of the other — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.139.86.166 (talk) 09:55, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

Converting InfoBox from SCICase to Courtcase
Since the discussion of 20 March 2021, there has been a consensus on merging [Template:Infobox SCI Case] with [Template:Infobox court case]. I'm new but I'm going to try to convert each existing SCI Case to the Courtcase infobox without altering appearance first to try to further the merge. Any suggestions or advice?
