Muslim women have been empowered by the Shariat laws to unilaterally divorce her husband under the Khulla method, actor Sanjay Dutt and his wife Manyata's lawyer on Wednesday told the court.
The couple has been charged with adultery, bigamy and that too by concealing the previous marriage. The complainant in the case is Manyata's former husband Meraj Rehman, who claims that he has never divorced her.
Additional sessions judge S N Sardesai was hearing an application filed by the couple challenging the process issued against them by the lower court.
Manyata had earlier given a statement to the police that she was married to Meraj and had divorced him through the Khulla method before a Qazi in 2004.
The lower court had neither rejected the statement given to the police nor had ordered further inquiry.
