The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) asserted on Sunday that the Supreme Court's verdict on maintenance for Muslim women contradicts Islamic law. The board's president has been authorized to explore all measures to overturn this decision.

The AIMPLB also plans to challenge the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in Uttarakhand High Court. After a meeting, the board adopted a resolution stating that the recent Supreme Court judgment on the maintenance of Muslim divorcee women is 'against the Islamic law (Shariah)'.

In a statement, AIMPLB emphasized that marriage should be maintained using all permissible measures and referenced guidelines in the Holy Quran. They believe the Supreme Court's judgment could cause further problems for women who have left painful relationships. The board plans to use legal, constitutional, and democratic measures to ensure the decision is rolled back.
