Claim: The Supreme Court has declared all marriages between Hindu women and Muslim men invalid.
Fact-check: The Supreme Court has not declared all marriages between Hindu women and Muslim men invalid - FACTLY
Verdict: the court has not declared all marriages between hindu women and muslim men invalid. while giving a judgement in a case where the couple married in the 1940s under the muslim law, the court said – "the marriage of a muslim man with an idolater or fire­worshipper is neither a valid  nor a void  marriage, but is merely an irregular  marriage. any child born out of such wedlock  is entitled to claim a share in his father's property". under the special marriage act, 1954, a hindu woman can marry a muslim man, and their marriage will be valid . hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
