The Shah Bano case dealt with-

The correct answer is Option (2) → Maintenance of a Muslim woman from her husband

he Shah Bano case (1985) dealt with the right of a divorced Muslim woman to claim maintenance under Section 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code. The Supreme Court ruled in her favor. The orthodox Muslims saw the Supreme Court’s order as an interference in Muslim Personal Law. On the demand of some Muslim leaders, the government passed the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act, 1986 that nullified the Supreme Court’s judgement. This action of the government was opposed by many women’s organisations, many Muslim groups and most of the intellectuals. The BJP criticised this action of the Congress government as an unnecessary concession and ‘appeasement’ of the minority community.
