AIMPLB strikes SC, opposes plea for ‘uniform divorce grounds’

The Constituent Assembly, the plea mentioned, was conscious of the excellence between “personal law” and “custom and usage” and selected advisedly to incorporate solely the latter in Article 13.
The software sought the court docket’s permission to be made a celebration within the petition filed by Advocate Ashwini Upadhyay.
