#1 That is why the US has a civil marriage that takes legal precedence over a religious marriage. In this case, the government could say that while the religion might decree them divorced, they are *not* divorced according to civil law; therefore, both the husband and the wife were still bound by their marriage agreement.

That is, any sexual activity outside of marriage would be legally adultery; if the husband or the wife left their shared house it would legally be abandonment (which could be a petty criminal act), etc.

This would trump the Ulama by negating their power.

#2 The muslims have bitterly resisted a uniform civil code.

When the Indian President and former rocket scientist, Abdul Kalam (ironically a muslim) recently reminded the parliament that the Indian constitution states that a uniform civil code should be enacted by the parliament (and it has not done so in 50 years), muslim groups protested calling for that part of the constitution to be amended as it was "a sword hanging over the head of the muslim community".

#4 Exactly.

They have managed to obtain rights in India that even muslim majority countries do not give.

Triple Talaq ("I divorce you, I divorce you, I divorce you") is not permitted in most islamic nations but it is in India.

Muslims are now pushing for affirmative action quotas in the public and private sector.
An attempt to impose quotas in the army has failed though...

#5 The court should not have hurt sentiments of any religious community.

For a culture that is denied thought and can't fight back on reason, this cloak of "hurt feelings" focuses their rage.

Hurt feelings is the reason for all the carnage by muslims. Everywhere. And feelings are directed to rage against infidels. Sublimation of jealousy. Rage at the uhmah that denies them the dream.
