About the Event
The National Seminar on ‘Changing Contours of Personal Laws in India’ envisions to provide a platform for deliberations on nuances of personal laws in India. Personal laws are unique in multiple ways, as it deals with relationship between two or more individuals based on various socio, economic, cultural, and legal factors. The status and rights of an individual are the cornerstone of personal laws. In the contemporary Indian society, due to several factors, there are multiple challenges relating to matrimonial obligations, individual autonomy, and domestic violence, to name a few, which needs to be addressed in an efficient manner. Further, there is a need for deliberation on the possibilities of expanding horizons on encouraging inter-disciplinary approaches with personal laws.
