印度最高法院裁决,伊斯兰律法和伊斯兰教令对印度的穆斯林没有法律效力。

印度高法星期一说,伊斯兰教法官只有在个人自愿请他们裁决时才能解释宗教律法,但是这些法官下达的宗教令不具法律约束力。

最高法院说,不能允许任何宗教遏制任何人的根本权利。

在有人申诉请求解散伊斯兰教法庭后,印度高法作出了这项裁决。

一名律师在2005年提出了这项申诉,申诉所援引的案例是一个伊斯兰教法庭下令一名妇女离开丈夫和孩子,去跟据称强奸了她的岳父一道生活。

India's Supreme Court has ruled Sharia courts and fatwas have no legal power over the country's Muslims.  

The top court said Monday Islamic judges who interpret religious law could only rule when individuals submitted voluntarily to them, but the judges' decisions, or fatwas, are not legally binding.

The Supreme Court said no religion is allowed to curb anyone's fundamental rights.

The court's ruling was given on a petition to disband Sharia courts.

A lawyer filed the petition in 2005, citing the case of a woman who was ordered by a Sharia court to leave her husband and children to live with her father-in-law who had allegedly raped her.
