Set up by the Bharatiya Muslim Mahila Andolan, the first all-women Sharia Court will deal with various family issues, including marital discord, divorce as well as property-related disputes.        

"We will be functioning to mete out justice to women in Muslim community in tune with the tenets of the Quran which confer equal rights to both men and women. In reality, however, women are often discriminated against by the all-men Sharia Courts traditionally run by All India Muslim Personal Law Board," said Saeeda Jamadar.
