Mehta School of Law (NMIMS), Mumbai INTRODUCTION Disabled women belonging to the lower strata of the Indian society, referred to as the Scheduled Caste is one of the most vulnerable positions to be in. Since the oppression of the victim happens on so many stages therefore the rendering of justice the same should be assessed under the multiple perspectives to which the victim is subjected. The topic of 'Rape of Disabled' came into the limelight by the recent judgment of “Patan Jamal Vali v. State of Andhra Pradesh ”.  Facts of the Case: This case is about a blind girl (aged nineteen) who belonged to the Scheduled caste community. She was raped by one of her own brother’s consociates, inside her own house in broad daylight. The girl’s mother was just fifty yards away, at the public water pump, doing her household chores when the accused inquired about the location of the members of the house. On finding out that the poor girl was all alone, the a

Author: Nistha Sahoo A country with diverse economies, perspectives, ideologies, beliefs, traditions and thoughts makes India extraordinary and exceptional. A country where marriage is deep rooted with past customs and traditions, intrudance of a new thought or new vision withers out the viability of things from a bigger picture. A thought of Sologamy seemed to be a new hope in the repressed boundaries of society which tries to fit oneself in the same jurisdiction. In a false world of prejudiced promises, someone prioritising oneself over anyone is gutsy. An individual’s interpersonal relationship is the preliminary step to envision a country of freedom and peace. Acceptance of something out of the box, understanding the concern behind that is essential. Being real is an act of authenticity not a disgrace.   To understand the way marriage is portrayed in India, we need to dig inside the essentials of marriage act, rights of Art

  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. Not only that we are going away from nature but we also are destroying and causing harm to it. ANIMAL CRUELTY  Animal cruelty is causing any pain, injury to an animal or any action that leads to death of the animal by the act of a person. It also includes neglect and not taking proper care of the animal by any person responsible for its maintenance.

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.
