Author(s) Ms. Akanksha Ojha
Country India
Abstract This study will contrast the Comparison in Personal Laws of India with the family law systems of Western nations for the purpose of investigation the ideas of Marriage, Divorce, and Gender Justice. India is operated under different sets of laws operating together. In the area of family laws, India is influenced by faith-based laws like Hindu laws, Muslim laws, and Christian laws. In the Western countries, the Civil Law system is homogenous for all citizens regardless of their creed. Considerable variations arise in the protection and execution of rights as a outcome of this core disparity, especially when it comes to equal rights for all genders. This study will carefully scrutinize key facets such as the Institution of marriage, grounds for divorce, maintenance, and spousal rights under multiple legal frameworks. This study will thoroughly assess a number of legal topics, including marriage, grounds for divorce, maintenance, and spousal rights under various Legal Systems. This study will additionally clarify how some of the laws in India is biased against women in terms of matrimony under the influence of belief system. Western legal systems, in contrast, place a gives particular importance to gender impartiality, parity before the Legal structure, and human subject. The study will seek to explore the current discourse on the Uniform Civil Code in Indian context in relation to gender justice and diversity of cultures. In embracing a analogous strategy to doctrinal research methodology, the paper seeks to gauge the positive and drawbacks of both systems. It will be inferred in this study that though India has a multifaceted system that exhibits its cultural diversity, there is an imperative expectation for justice and equality. It will be inferred that in order for real gender equity in domestic laws to be attained, a integrated approach prerequisites to be made by merging unvarying doctrines and heritage.
