Cinosural International An Elementry School Jammu

New Delhi, May 15: The Delhi court dismissed the claim of a man, accused of domestic violence by his wife, that their wedding was invalid as the per Islamic law, as she had not completed iddat after getting a divorce from her first husband.

In Islamic law, a divorced woman has to wait during the iddat period for about three months before she can remarry.

Any marriage performed by a Muslim woman during the iddat period is an irregular marriage and not a void marriage. Hence, the contention of the man on this aspect is found to be without any merits, court said while relying on a Supreme Court observation.

She said she had married the accused after obtaining divorce from her first husband. The man, on the other hand, denied that he had married the complainant, saying she was in the iddat period and any wedding during this period is invalid.
