About the Seminar
Family law plays a crucial role in nearly every aspect of our lives. The past few decades have witnessed myriad changes in the realm of family law in India. These changes have been triggered by transitioning notions of equality, liberty, and justice. Stakeholders from various strata of the societal edifice have identified and advocated the need to address these concerns.
Family laws in India are always associated with religious personal laws and its ambiguity when it comes to the issue of minority religions as well as its treatment of women has been a source of consistent critique. Further scrutiny, however, reveals that the institutions that form the basis of family laws itself are challenged in several ways.
Currently, family as a concept is no longer confined to blood relations and has expanded to include adoption, surrogacy, and alternative family structures such as the hijra communities or even polycules.
Marriage is no longer restricted to cisgender; heterosexual couples and the queer rights movement is fighting a two-fold battle to include queer persons within the scope of individuals eligible to get married while simultaneously challenging the institution of marriage itself.
This warrants an urgent conversation on how family law can be reimagined to not merely accommodate diversity but fulfil the needs and secure the rights of the individuals and communities it is applicable to.
This changing understanding of family not only affects the legal framework but also has consequences on the social and economic rights of individuals. Scrutiny of the existing framework from an academic lens can assist in confronting the variety of dilemmas it presents.
The National Law University, Jodhpur is organizing a two-day National Seminar on: “Revisiting the Current Regime of Family Law in India”.
This seminar strives to revisit the family law of India to complement critical gender theory, social and economic justice while simultaneously keeping it grounded within the constitutional theory and a rights-oriented framework.
They hope to engage with and contribute to contemporary family law scholarship by facilitating academic discussions with emerging scholars, lawyers, and academics.
The Seminar shall be held over a period of two days where esteemed speakers shall be deliberating on the key issues pertaining to the contemporary challenges the family law regime in India faces.
Seminar Structure
This seminar shall be conducted over a period of 2 days through an online platform, i.e., Cisco Webex:
Day 1: The seminar shall commence with a keynote address by the Hon’ble Vice Chancellor and the Guest of Honour. This would be followed by the parallel sessions of paper presentations chaired by the esteemed panelists. The day would end with a panel discussion.
Day 2: Paper presentations will continue, followed by a panel discussion. The seminar will conclude with a keynote address by the Guest of Honour followed by the vote of thanks.
