In India itself, Sharia law remains under controversy. Shahbano case is the biggest example of this. In 1975, 59 -year -old Shahbano of Indore was divorced by her husband Mohammad Ahmed Khan. Along with Shahbano, his five children were also abandoned by Ahmed Khan. Shahbano started a legal battle against it which reached the Supreme Court, where on 23 April 1985, the Constitution Bench of five judges ordered Ahmed Khan to give alimony to his children.
This order was against the order of the Muslim Personal Law Board.

However, now a law has been enacted against triple talaq in India and Muslim women are lodging an FIR against husbands for three divorces.
