Arguments from Respondent side: -

 Muslim women weather married or unmarried were not given freedom

even they were debarred from their basic freedom, which is against
humanity and it basically violates the basic and fundamental rights of
human.
 Article 44 of the Directive Principles in the Constitution says the “State
shall endeavour to provide for its citizens a uniform civil code (UCC)
throughout the territory of India.” The objective of this endeavour should
be to address the discrimination against vulnerable groups and harmonise
diverse cultural practices.
 Uniform civil code is the proposal to replace the personal laws based on
scriptures and customs of each major religious community in India with a
common set governing every citizen.
 According to section 125 of CrPC ,A wife who is unable to maintain
herself is liable to get compensation from her husband as in this section,
it is totally a Secular law, There is nowhere written any religious factor,
so my client MS. Shah Bano is unable to maintain herself at this old stage
so she is entitled to get maintenance.
