Author: Sanya Malhotra ABSTRACT  Usually the term ‘Domestic Violence’ is often subjected or limited to women. Although there’s no harm in it, as women of the society have always been subjected to patriarchy and violence. But the term ‘violence’ or ‘abuse’ cannot be used in a limited context, it has much wider and broader sense of meaning. “Domestic abuse, often known as “domestic violence” or “intimate partner violence,” is defined by the United Nations as a pattern of behaviour designed to establish or retain power and control over an intimate partner in any relationship.” It is astonishing that even men are subjected to physical violence, mental and sexual abuse in many households.

She will, however, give the child to the contracted party and not raise it. ‘Chori chori Chupke Chupke’, movie can be the best example to understand this concept in better manner.

The unregulated business of surrogacy raised concerns like unethical prac...

Author: Arryan Mohanty Introduction The government, the opposition, the courts, and the media make up democracy. India is the largest democracy in the world, and the media has always been crucial in shaping the nation's progress. The media's contribution is to increase public awareness of various bits of information and knowledge. People think that the media is the sole reliable source of knowledge and communication about events that happen and don't happen throughout the world.

Author: Shereen Rodrigues  1. INTRODUCTION However, because there are more patients in need of transplants than there are donors, laws must be in place to prevent illicit conduct involving the sale of organ transplantation. Illegal Trading in human organs has taken on draconian proportions. The criminal market in human organs has surpassed the number of charitable donors. Organ and tissue transplantation has changed over the past 30 years from an experimental operation conducted only in highly developed countries to a therapeutic intervention performed in hospitals and clinics around the world thanks to advancements in medicine and surgery.
