It's been spoken time and again and continues to dominate the parlance in state politics.

  Author: Eshita Pillania INTRODUCTION  It is important to be the voice of those, who can't speak for themselves. It is important to take care of each and every being on our planet earth. Surprisingly, the animals that bring joy to us and fulfill many of our needs, in return, we only have pain to give them. There has been a hike in the cases of animal cruelty now more than ever.

The term is vaguely defined by law, due to which proper punishable laws and preventive measures are not taken. India’s global rank for Animal protection is second in global animal protection index 2020, released by World Animal Protection. Although, this data ca

KESHAV VYAS NATIONAL LAW INSTITUTE UNIVERSITY ,BHOPAL Table of Contents   INTRODUCTION   PROOF OF SECOND MARRIAGE   RIGHTS OF THE SECOND WIFE IN INDIA   MAINTENANCE RIGHTS OF SECOND WIFE PROPERTY RIGHTS   CONCLUSION   INTRODUCTION In India, a second marriage during the duration of the first marriage is unlawful, and the connection that results from it is invalid. Despite the fact that the law is fairly clear on this matter, "second marriage" is a prevalent practise in Indian culture. Due to the aforementioned disparity between the law and social custom, second wives  have limited legal protection. With the implementation of the Hindu Marriage Act of 1955 (HMA), one of the requirements for a lawful marriage was that neither party have a live spouse at the time of the marriage. After 1955, the aforementioned rule and Section 11 of the Hindu Marriage Act rendered second marriages null and void from the start. In this regard, the Hindu Marriage Act requires a marr

Author:  -        Riffat Soin UILS, Panjab University   What did the US and India have in common in the first half of 1970s? Except of course the surprising emergence of rock in the music industry. It was the flabbergasting attempt to accommodate the needs and demands of their newly woke citizens into their laws to provide a better and safer society for them, with a spotlight on the rights and demands regarding pregnancy and abortions. However, a promising history does not necessarily guarantee a promising future.  The West has always been a guide for us in regards of what to do, how to do it and when to do it.

And a third world developing country would be the last place you would imagine to be providing a better healthcare domain than the US. How such an event has unfolded is what is discussed below in respect of abortion rights in the US
