In India, a Muslim boy wanted to sport a beard in a Missionary school which forbade such practices. He challenged it in the High Court which dismissed it. He went to Supreme Court of india calling the denial to sport a beard as violation of article 14 of the constitution. ( Freedom to practice one's religion) The bench while dismissing his petition made certain remarks such as talibanisation. The learned Judge Justice Markandeya Katju was who opined that secularism can be extended to such idiotic extent as to claim immunity from rules and regulations of educational institutions. He had remarked if extended, tomorrow some one else will claim something else as a matter of right. It was open for the student to go to a state school where such matters are allowed. But this remark was challenged by the same student as offending. The bench offered apologies and withdrew the judgment. so much for tolerance.

Supreme court in Shah Bano case opined that Destitute Muslim women were entitled to maintanance under Marriage law. Muslim community was up in arms calling it un islamic. they said that Islam permits re marriage for such women and allows iddat( maintanance ) for 3 months. Triple Talaqs are option to be exercised by either of the spouses even though only men exercise them. The woman in question was more than 60 years and who will come forward to marry her? But Rajiv Gandhi then had to appease minority sentiments. This later on led to bad blood among Muslims and Hindus culminating in Babri Masjid demolition

In the Imrana case, when the Deoband seminary ordered Imrana to marry the molestor- her father in law, no educated Muslim spoke against it not even Shabna Azmis who spoke about not getting a house for rent in Mumbai.

It all boils down to the lack of education for Muslim masses. Unless the mass is educated, such social evils will continue to thrive in the name of religion and mullahs and maulvis will rule the roost.
