Description
All the laws relating to Marriage and Divorce lie scattered in hundred Journals throughout the country and they are beyond the reach of common practicing Advocates. Author has tried to collect and consolidate all the relevant Laws duly amended updated at one place for the easy access of our esteemed readers and public at large. Our country is a land of various religions, castes, sects and tribes and therefore, varying laws and rules on marriage and divorce were framed by yaw makers and reformers (as amended from time to time) keeping in view the background of customs, beliefs and rituals prevalent in the society for being applicable to respective communities. Most of these laws and rules as framed from time to time have suitably been dealt with by way of reference in the subject matter of the relevant chapters outlined in this book. It's start reality that human life without the concept of Family and marriage is meaningless. These two aspects, as a matter of fact, work as pedestals to support the entire edifice of the social and cultural structure of society as a whole, leading to happy and harmonious life of people at large.
