Abstract
Studies Mohd. Ahmed Khan v. Shah Bano Begum (1985) and how the film Haq portrays it, using doctrinal and socio-legal methods. It argues that the judgment upheld a divorced Muslim woman's right to maintenance under s.125 CrPC, whatever her religion. It also argues that the case shaped debates on women's rights and the Uniform Civil Code, while the film makes the issue easier for the public to understand.
