    Arranged Marriage Should Be Banned Speech

    Good Morning Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen. As the second speaker from the affirmative team, I will also be arguing about why arranged marriage should be banned. The points I will be discussing today all revolve around the concept of arranged marriage violating human rights. However, allow me to firstly rebut the points stated by the first speaker of the opposing team. The first speaker stated that arranged marriage are more successful, and divorce wise this statement is true. For example the divorce rate of India is 1.1%. However, this statistic shows the percentage of people legally married and divorced, not how many people are happily married and are in a healthy relationship. The statistic doesn’t show the people who are getting abused…

    Hindu Culture in Pakistan

    Islamic concept of marriage is based on convenience and simplicity so that no one finds it a burden. In contrast, the marriages which are prevailing in our society based on Hindu practices involve so much spending that poor finds it hard to marry his children. Today, arranging proper wedding functions with mendi and mayoun has become a social norm, so much so that those who don’t do it become the odd ones out in the society. The one who spends more has I higher status in society and is more acceptable. Thus spending and…

    Salient Feature of Hindu Law

    Salient features of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 has reformed Hindu law of Marriage. It is a landmark in the history of social legislation. It has not simply codified the Hindu law of marriage but has introduced certain important changes in many respects. The Hindu marriage contemplated by the Act hardly remains sacramental. The Act has brought in some changes of far reaching consequences which have undermined the sacramental nature of marriage and rendered it contractual in nature to a great extent. The Hindu law of marriage, as the British rulers of India found, interpreted and applied, was, in a nutshell, as follows: (1) Marriage was a holy sanskar, it could be solemnised in one of the eight forms recognised by law; (2) The solemnisation would be according to the Shastric or customary rites; (3) One could marry at any age, as there was no lowest age of marriage; (4) Inter-religious and inter-caste marriages were prohibited, but the latter could be sanctioned by custom; (5) Marrying within one’s gotra or pravara was not allowed, except among the Shudras; (6) Husband and wife would live together, the latter would be submit to the wishes of the former, and the former would maintain the latter; (7) Marriage was indissoluble; divorce was not permitted unless recognised by custom; (8) Death did not dissolve a marriage and therefore a widow could not remarry unless permitted by custom so to do. The courts in India recognised, interpreted and applied all these principles in their minute’s details. Changes brought about by the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 The new Act has made radical and substantial changes in the institution of marriage. The following changes are important: (1) A Hindu marriage is now not so much concerned with religion. It is more a result…

    Human Right

    Basic human right still are not respected in many nations. Rights that we take for granted in developed nations , such as freedom as association, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of movement, freedom from politican repression. Globalization has significantly changed the world we live in, presenting new and complex challenges for the protection of human rights. Economic players, especially companies that operate across national boundaries (trans-national companies), have gained unprecedented power and influence across the world economy. This has not always benefited the societies in which they operate. Companies cause harm by directly abusing human rights, or by colluding with others who violate human rights. Despite this potential to cause significant harm, there are few effective mechanisms at national or international level to prevent corporate human rights abuses or to hold companies to account. This means those affected by their operations – often already marginalized and vulnerable - are left powerless, without the protection to which they are entitled, or meaningful access to justice. Global standards on business and human rights. Governments have the primary obligation to secure universal enjoyment of human rights and this includes an obligation to protect all individuals from the harmful actions of others, including companies.…

    child mariage

    Marriage is a celebration in India, but unfortunately so is child marriage. Although we have a statute since 1929 to restrain the same, the power of that legislation in controlling this social evil is dismal. Interestingly, in the era of Chandrayan, we repeatedly hear cases of Child Marriages. Child marriage is a stigma on the forehead of our society. In a recent case, a widow and mother of six children married her 12-year-old daughter to a 35-year-old man in Channa Bakhar village of Jodhpur…

    Triple Talaq Research Paper

    The Supreme Court, at last, delivered its verdict on the scourged practice of ‘Triple Talaq’ among the Muslim community, which emboldens a Muslim man to violate the sanctity of marriage by deserting his wife in a unilateral and patently unjust manner. The Triple Talaq dehumanizes women, enslaves them to their husbands and deprives them of their dignity. Though this is a welcome verdict, the very fact that it took 70 years for the independent India to reform an utterly discriminatory law is deeply saddening. It also shows how arduous and painstakingly slow it is to bring about any reformation in Indian society.…
