Well today was interesting
So Jalal and Ruqu shaadi has been called Illegal by AK
As far as my understanding goes - An illegal marriage means it does not exist - And a marriage that does not exist cannot be dissolved as there is nothing to dissolve - so where does the Q of divorce come in!!!
As for any new law - Yes it can only be prospective and cannot be applied retrospective - so why did the Emperor keep silent????
My take - The Emperor is waiting for the Ulemas of Islam and the Pundits of the Hindus to come up with this statement - this will give weight to the Emperor's new law being applied prospective - I dont think the keepers of religion would want to see a mass divorce of all the shaadis that have happened before the law was enacted - ppl of all religions would be affected - And Jalal knws this but is waiting for the statement to come from those quarters - If the Emperor says as such it would be mis-represented by MA and AK.
