Description
Second edition of this book was brought to cater to the needs of the readers, by providing them understanding of certain aspects in the field of law relating to Marriage, Maintenance and Divorce. I am told that the response was good. The response has encouraged the esteemed publisher LexisNexis and the author to bring this third edition. I may reiterate that the aim and object of this work is to present to the readers significant aspects of these fields of law in a simple language. At the same time, effort has been made to acquaint the readers with the procedural laws and rules which are followed in court of law in case of a matrimonial dispute and other subjects covered by the book. This edition contains various decisions of different High Courts and Supreme Court on the subjects covered so as to acquaint the readers with the latest trends of law. I am very grateful to the publishers LexisNexis for giving me an opportunity to update the book and to present to the readers recent laws on the subjects, in a simple manner and for an easy understanding.
