Yami Gautam and Emraan Hashmi’s upcoming film, Haq has already been making noise across the country since its teaser. While fans and friends are lauding Yami and Emraan’s acting, the discussion also centers on ‘Shah Bano Begum’, a simple woman who challenged her religious law and dragged her ex-husband to court over maintenance in 1985, when triple talaq was the ghost looming over Muslim marriages.
Who is Shah Bano Begum?
Shah Bano Begum was born in 1916 in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. She lived a simple life and got married to Mohammed Ahmad Khan, who was a respected lawyer of his time, in 1932. The two had five children and were married for fourteen years.
