Section 6 of DMMA : Section 6: Repealed

Explanation using Example

Imagine a situation where a Muslim woman is seeking to dissolve her marriage due to her husband's absence and disappearance. She learns about the provisions of the Dissolution of Muslim Marriages Act, 1939, which could help her obtain a divorce. However, she is informed by her lawyer that Section 5 of the Act of 1937, which might have previously dealt with a similar situation, has been repealed by the Repealing and Amending Act of 1942. Therefore, the lawyer advises her to proceed under the relevant sections of the Dissolution of Muslim Marriages Act, 1939, which are currently in force, to seek the dissolution of her marriage.
