Should Same-Sex marriage be legalised in India? Our Indian society is constantly evolving. Over hundreds of years ago, Sati Pratha was a norm in Hindu society until it was criminalised in 1829 and has now ceased to exist. The remarriage of widows which was once impossible has now become a norm of society. A trend is also seen in the reduction of female infanticide, child marriage, the purdah system, the dowry system, polygamy, untouchability and many more. All these which were once impossible, are practical today. Today, our modern society has its own needs and demands. Women and minority rights, breaking gender stereotypes, breaking the taboos around sex, and the question of identity, that is, the difference between the sex and gender of a person. All this is a result of our society welcoming the new changes and imbibing them. The law and governance play an important role in this to shape public opinion and ensure just practises in the society. The question largely debated today
What is a court like? Is it anything like the courtroom like we have seen in our bollywood movies? Does the judge say "order order" every now and then? Not at all. Being a first generation lawyer and a person who luckily never got into any court cases, I had never visited a court. Now that I have chosen to be a lawyer, I was really interested to see the court proceedings. Luckily, I went to the Bombay Session and Civil court today as our college lectures got cancelled. There is one thing that many people donot know is that anyone can visit court and listen the hearings that are held( except for certain crimes where camera trials are held). One need to have a valid identity proof to enter the court. Bombay session court is huge and old. The British architecture makes the court look magnificent. There are various court rooms in the premises and each court room is assigned a particular type of case. For example , all cases related to Narcotics are dealt in court room number 44.
