The court emphasizes that such laws will ensure equal and sex-fuination in communities.
Justice Hanste Sanjeevakumar made this observation, regularly handling the first appeal about the claims of the property of a deceased Muslim woman.

He directed the Registrar General to forward a copy of the decision to the Principal Law Secretaries of the Center and the Government of Karnataka.
The question included controversy over her assets between Shahnaz Begum’s husband and her two brothers and a sister in this case. Shahnaz, a government teacher of a government school, died on 6 January 2014.
After examining the evidence, the court ruled that her 89 -year -old husband deserves 75% stake in all her properties, up to 10% of her brothers and sister up to 5%.
Justice Sanjeevakumar highlighted the difference between Hindu and Muslim personal laws. While Hindu law grants the rights of equal heritage to daughters and sons and treats wives with wives – along with Article 14 of the Constitution – such equality is not reflected in Muslim law.
The judge stated that in this case, while the brothers are considered “Sherors” under the Muslim law, the sister is only entitled to sharing as “remnants”, leading to discrimination that is not present in the Hindu law where “brothers and sisters have equal rights.”
