Over 25,000 women from
Limbayat
, Udhna, Rander, Adajan and walled city areas later submitted a memorandum to district collector saying that Muslim women will not tolerate any interference in their personal laws.
Humeria Shaikh
, a housewife from Limbayat, said, "Sharia is oxygen for Muslim men and women and under no circumstances, we will agree to any changes in our personal law."
All-Muslim Samaj member Maqsood Beg Mirza told TOI, "A signature campaign has been started in the city to get the support of Muslim women against the UCC. A huge response to the campaign should be a clear message to the central government that there can't be any compromise on Muslim Personal Law."
