What was a notable feature of the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025?
It mandated the representation of Muslim women on Waqf Boards.
The Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025 restructured the Central Waqf Council and every State Waqf Board rather than abolishing them, and it left administration open to lay Muslim professionals, so the first two statements are incorrect.
Waqf, being a Muslim endowment, continued to be created only by Muslims, which rules out the option about non-Muslim donors.
A key inclusive reform of the Act was compulsory nomination of at least two Muslim women to the Central Waqf Council and to each State Waqf Board.
Hence, the notable feature is that it mandated the representation of Muslim women on Waqf Boards.
