Скачать или смотреть Exploring Personal Laws Through a Gendered Lens | Roundtable Discussion

Join us for an engaging roundtable discussion hosted by the Legal Cluster at CNES, with panellists Manav, Yasir, and Chaitanya. This thought-provoking conversation delves into Indian personal laws from a gendered perspective, exploring the intersection of family law with gender equality and inclusivity. The discussion critically examines inter alia, the influence of societal norms and religious customs on the enforcement of gender-just provisions, the evolution of judicial interpretations in child custody under Hindu family law, and the implications of the lack of legal recognition for same-sex marriages. It also touches upon the guiding principles of Shariat law on divorce and spousal relief, situating these issues within the broader framework of legal pluralism and constitutional aspirations. Through this nuanced dialogue, we uncover the challenges and reforms necessary to ensure equality and inclusivity within the intimate realms of marriage, divorce, parenthood, and inheritance in India | Moderator: Aman Chain.
