PAWAN ARORA,
RHB COMMISSIONER

he institu-
tion of mar-
riage has un-
dergone sig-
n i f i c a n t
changes in recent times. In
the past, arranged mar-
riages were the only ac-
ceptable form of marriage
in society. However, with
the influence of Western
culture, the perception of
society shifted, and love
marriages became accept-
ed. Now, another form of
relationship called a “live-
in relationship” is gaining
popularity among the
younger generation.
A live-in relationship
refers to two individuals
cohabiting without the in-
tention of having a perma-
nent relationship. This
type of relationship has
emerged due to moderni-
zation and urban culture,
particularly in large cities.
However, live-in relation-
ships are not widely ac-
cepted in India due to the
stigma and taboo attached
to them, as arranged mar-
riages are still considered
the societal norm.
The main issues that
arise are whether society
will readily accept this
type of relationship and
what the repercussions of
accepting such relation-
ships will be. Should exist-
ing marriage laws be
amended, or should new
laws be enacted to regulate
these relationships? The
judiciary has been incon-
sistent in recognizing live-
in relationships, but it has
been sensitive to the pro-
tection of women’s inter-
ests and has played a role
in delivering justice to af-
fected women.
Currently, there is no
specific law in India to di-
rectly address live-in rela-
tionships. The Hindu Mar-
riage Act, 1955, grants a
legal status to children
born out of “voidable” or
“void” marriages. The Pro-
tection of Women from
Domestic Violence Act,
2005 (PWDVA), recog-
nizes relationships in the
nature of marriage and
provides security for wom-
en facing violence in such
relationships. The judici-
ary has interpreted these
laws to recognize live-in
relationships and protect
the interests of women and
children involved.. The
Supreme Court has held
that if a man and a woman
have lived together for a
long period of time and
have held themselves out
to society as being akin to
spouses, they will be con-
sidered legally married.
However, the court also
recognized that not every
live-in relationship will be
considered a relationship
in the nature of marriage.
The individuals must ful-
fill certain conditions, such
as holding themselves out
as spouses socially, reach-
ing the legal age of mar-
riage, being legally quali-
fied to marry, and cohabit-
ing voluntarily for a rea-
sonable period of time.
REQUIRED
UNIFORM RULES
The insititution of PO-
LYGAMY has declined in
last few decades. MO-
NOGAMY has been ac-
cepted in law for Christian,
Hindu, Parsi and Jews ex-
cept of Muslim.. Due to the
Provisions of law and soci-
etal practices second mar-
riage are deemed to be in-
valid in India as a result of
which that woman shall
not be maintained in law.
Hindu Marriage Act
1955 is applicable to other
Indian communities such
as Jain,Sikh and Buddhist
also provide for mainte-
nance during pendency of
proceedings of divorce and
after divorce maintenance
is to be provided according
to the capacity of the indi-
vidual who is to provide
maintenance.
Muslim Law Mahr is an
amount that is to be de-
cided at the time of the
marriage take place not
fixing a limit of a amount
of Mahr. The main purpose
of Mahr is to act as sanc-
tion on the husband for
divorcing his wife and to
provide the woman with
adequate resources so that
she can look after herself
either post divorce or after
the death of the husband.
But if the divorce is taken
by both the parties mutu-
ally or specifically by the
will of the wife the woman
therefore loses her claim
onMahr.TheMahramount
given the financial security
to the woman. The power
of reducing or waiving the
Mahr amount is not given
to man. The wife is only
allowed to reduce or waive
the quantum of the Mahr.
Thus Mahr protects the in-
terests of a married wom-
an. However muslim per-
sonal law no where states
a provision that talks about
the maintenance of wife
after divorce.
Concept of providing
maintenance under Mus-
lim law is not similar to the
provision regarding main-
tenance given under the
personal laws of other reli-
gion of India under Islamic
laws men are allowed to
practice polygamy and all
wives are to be maintened
by the husband and second
marriage is held valid and
the wife does get all the
benefits and rights that are
entitled to the first wife.
The Union legislature
passed a legislation Mus-
lim women ( Protection of
rights on divorce) Act
1986 due to controversies
that was created after Shah
Bano Case as per section 3
of the Act. A Muslim can
only seek maintenance
during the period of Iddat.
After Iddat she is entitled
to claim maintenance from
her parents and relatives,
and in the absence of rela-
tive the act also provides
that the Magistrate shall
direct the State Waqf
Board for maintaining the
woman. After the Act was
passed various HCs had
different opinion when it
came to the applicability of
section 125 Cr.P.C to a
Muslim divorced wife.
The Act was not drafted
properly which can be seen
by a plain reading of it.
The unfortunate part is that
such an Act still persists in
a country that deems to de-
liver social Justice. Vari-
ous personal laws concern-
ing different communities,
namely Hindus, Parsis,
Christians, Muslims estab-
lish a concept of mainte-
nance and alimony. Chris-
tian find relief under provi-
sions of Indian Divorce
Act 1869.

SPECIFIC
LAWS
In many countries, includ-
ing India, there are no
specific laws that provide
for maintenance in live-in
relationships. However,
the judiciary has played a
significant role in address-
ing the issue of mainte-
nance in such relation-
ships. Internationally,
different countries have
different approaches to the
recognition and regulation
of live-in relationships.
For example, in France,
couples can enter into
a “Civil Solidarity Pact”
(PACS) that provides legal
recognition and certain
rights similar to marriage.
In the Philippines, prop-
erty acquired by couples
in a live-in relationship is
governed by rules on equal
co-ownership. In the UK,
live-in couples do not enjoy
the same legal benefits and
status as married couples.
However, it is important
to note that courts do not
have the power to amend
or legislate laws. The
power to amend laws lies
with the legislature. The
legislature seems to be in
a dilemma regarding live-
in relationships, and there
is a need for new laws
to address this emerg-
ing trend in society. The
legislature should consider
the changing scenario
and frame new rules to
regulate such cases.

ndia’s victory in the South Asian Football
Federation (SAFF) Championship deserves
three cheers and the team felicitations. Skip-
per Sunil Chhetri led his side with perfection. The
impressive victory has certainly revived hopes of the
country aiming for FIFA World Cup soccer.
Regional supremacy is important but achieving
glory at the global stage is a different ball game.
Much though we dream of Indian soccer at the inter-
national level, the journey is made arduous by the
lack of popular support for the game. Keeping poli-
tics out of AIFF is also an imperative.
Like all sports bodies in India even the AIFF has
had its troubles due to the high level of political in-
terference which invited a warning from FIFA last
year. The win in SAFF is going to be a short-lived joy
if political interference doesn’t stop completely. That
is the only way to go forward. While no comparison
can be made with the BCCI, the hockey federation
model can be copied to raise the game’s level.

resident Joe Biden “is anxiously looking for-
ward” to Sweden joining NATO. Biden ex-
pressed his keenness for expanding NATO
to Sweden’s Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson when the
latter visited the White House on Wednesday. Swe-
den has shown its willingness to join the North At-
lantic Treaty Organisation after the Russian invasion
of Ukraine. On the other hand Moscow claims to
have invaded Ukraine after Kyiv applied for NATO
membership. Ukraine’s joining the Organisation
would have brought the Western powers danger-
ously close to Russia. The end result was a war which
seems endless with both sides paying a heavy cost.
Sweden’s entry efforts would further complicate
the situation with
another possible
war with the US
and Europe playing
a proxy role as they
are doing in
Ukraine. However,
Sweden’s member-
ship faces a stum-
bling block from
within NATO. Tur-
key, an important
part of the western
alliance and its old-
est member, is
strongly opposed to
Sweden joining the
bloc because it ac-
cuses Stockholm of
harbouring Kurdish
exiles. Turkey’s
President Recep
Tayyip Erdogan
blames Western
countries for not taking his concerns seriously.
Sweden, along with Finland, applied for NATO
membership last year but had to wait to be accepted
becauseofTurkeywhichvowedtovoteagainstthetwo
countries whenever their membership is taken up for
consideration.That makes Biden’s eagerness pointless
unless the alliance decides to part ways with Turkey.
Sweden and Finland can both wait as they are
members of the European Union and enjoy a secu-
rity umbrella. Any attack on the two countries will
invite a pushback from NATO members as well.

India is among one of the

on the global stage and
United States has taken its
own step to develop much
further the relationship

US National Security

Prime Minister Narendra
Modi’s State visit to the
US as “absolutely histori-

India and US successfully
took the bilateral relation-
ship to the next level.
In an exclusive inter-

the “most important rela-

“In the wake of what

“And I think, without

et. But, it is clearly as-
cended to the top level

both countries leave with

BUREAUCRATIC TALES
Veenu Gupta surprises everyone with her
foray in race for RERA Chairmanship!

Jaipur
he State bureau-
cracy was sur-
prised on
Wednesday, when news
spread that ACS Veenu
Gupta has joined in the
race for the position of
RERAChairman. She ap-
plied for the position on
the last day of application
and almost at the last min-
ute i.e. at 4:45 PM. Al-
though, a three member
selection committee un-
der the chairmanship of a
Judge of High Court will
select the next Chairman,
but knowledgeable sourc-
es reveal that Veenu Gup-
ta has high chance of be-
ing selected.
Apart from the two re-
tired IAS, Ravishankar
Srivastava and Pawan
Kumar Goyal, out of the
total four applicants,
there is a retired Chief
Engineer of Rajasthan
Housing Board as well.
Among these, according
to merit, the claim of PK
Goyal is also considered
to be strong. Prior to Ni-
hal Chand Goyal becom-
ing formal Chairman, as
Principal Secretary of
UDH, PK Goyal has
served as RERA Chair-
man for six months.
Veenu Gupta, a 1987
batch senior IAS of ACS
level, was also a front
runner for the post of
Chief Secretary till June
30. It was believed that
the manner how her hus-
band - former Chief Sec-
retary DB Gupta - was
reappointed by CM Ge-
hlot and kept in loop with
him and gave preference
to Veenu in government
work; she could be the
next CS. But at the last
moment with six months’
extension to Usha Shar-
ma, Veenu Gupta’s
chance of becoming CS
came to an end, because
there are only six months
left to Veenu Gupta’s re-
tirement. Interestingly,
RERAChairman’s tenure
is of five years.
Now if Veenu gets se-
lected, then she will have
to leave the service. But
when will the selection
committee meet, it has
not been decided as yet.
Notably, a sitting judge
of High Court acts as
Chairman in the Com-
mittee while Principal
Secretary UDH and Law
Secretary are members.

“It was a very meaningful, extensive and important discus-
sion. We discussed all the issues. Our organisation, our
leaders, our MLAs, and ministers all will work together and
as I have always been saying our goal is to form Congress
government again in Rajasthan”, Pilot told the media follow-
ing a party meeting on the upcoming Assembly elections
at the AICC headquarters. Pilot accepted after the meeting
that his issues have been resolved by the party. “I am glad
that the party has taken issues raised by me seriously and
has made a further outline to take action on them. The gov-
ernment is serious about all the corruption that happened
during the tenure of the BJP rule and will take action,” he
said. About any post to him, Pilot said General Secretary
Venugopal has given the answer to these questions. “In
the coming time, whatever decision Rahul Gandhi, Kharge
Saheb will take, whatever role I will have to play, whatever
instructions the party will give, I’ll work,” he said.
A meeting will be held at BJP HQs in New Delhi
today where state presidents and ministers from all
states will be present. The meeting will be chaired
by JP Nadda, Amit Shah, and BL Santosh. Vasundhara
Raje arrived in New Delhi on Thursday for the meeting.

SHOW GEHLOT JI IN
LAPTOP, SAYS RAHUL
In the Congress
meet in Delhi, Rahul
Gandhi suddenly sur-
prised by taking the name
of CM Ashok Gehlot. Media
persons were allowed for
some time during the meet
to take videos and photos.
Gandhi told the media in a
lighter vein that Gehlot ji is
also involved in meeting,
show him also (in photo)
in the laptop. On this, the
leaders said that there is
a big screen on which we
can see, at which Rahul
smiled and Sachin Pilot also
laughed. Political experts
are considering this as an
auspicious sign.
We will have to fight
polls aggressively.
Power shouldn’t not
centralized but
decentralised.
Everyone should
have the power of
govt. We should
surround Modi govt
and expose BJP in
public.
PRATAPSINGH
KHACHARIYAWAS,
FOOD MINISTER
If OBC quota is
increased, Congress
will be benefited. Now
there is no time left
for this work. Those
MLAs whose condition
is weak in the ground,
their tickets should be
cut. If my condition is
also not good in the
survey, then there
should be no
hesitation in cutting
the ticket. If we want
to repeat the
government, then we
will have to strictly
follow the norms
while distributing
tickets.
HARISH CHAUDHARY,
CONGRESS MLA
One needs to work
wholeheartedly to
repeat govt, it is not
that easy. While
living in govt,
without learning
from shortcomings
correcting them,
it will not work. The
tickets of leaders
who are losing,
should be cut.
DRRAGHUSHARMA,
GUJARAT INCHARGE
Survey is going on for candidates. We had
declared candidates early in Karnataka.
Candidates will be announced soon in
Rajasthan. Work is being done to help all
classes. Congress’ small workers will also be
taken into confidence.

r Shefali Ba-
tra, re-
n o w n e d
Psychiatrist,
CBT Expert
and Author
talks to Gargi Roy, MSc Neu-
roscience student, at King’s
College, London about de-
pression, why she wrote the
book and all about the
mind… excerpts.
Why did you choose to write
this book “Why do I feel so
Sad” and what motivated
you?
Reflecting on the years 2020
and 2021, I became aware of
the concerning rise in global
depression rates during the
COVID-19 pandemic, im-
pacting around 532 million
people worldwide. As a be-
havioural and cognitive ther-
apy practitioner, I believe in
the power of cognitive thera-
py and mindfulness. Recog-
nizing the value of self-help
books for healing, I saw the
need for an advanced book
that could provide step-
by-step guidance,
support, and em-
power readers.
What are the most common
symptoms of depression that
you encounter in your practice?
In medical terms Depression
is a common, but serious ill-
ness with symptoms that dis-
rupt mood, sleep, appetite,
attention span, and ability to
experience pleasure, render-
ing a person incapable of
managing even simple every-
day activities. Many individ-
uals, even if not actively sui-
cidal, experience a sense of
wishing that they didn’t exist.
Therefore, it’s important to
closely monitor oneself and
loved ones for subtle signs of
depression, such as changes
in mood, decreased interest
in enjoyable activities,
changes in appetite and sleep
patterns, restlessness or leth-
argy, and an overall belief
that life has lost its value.
Can you explain the distinc-
tion between clinical depres-
sion and sadness?
Sadness is a familiar emo-
tion that can make one feel
low, inadequate, empty,
and insignificant. While
everyone experiences sad-
ness occasionally, clinical
depression is characterised
by persistent and pervasive
sadness that affects various
aspects of life, including
sleep, appetite, work, rela-
tionships, and self-care.
Clinical depression, encom-
passing different subtypes
like major depression, minor
depression, and seasonal de-
pression, hinders one’s abil-
ity to lead a fulfilling and
accomplished life. Profes-
sional intervention is often
necessary to address these
challenges.
Is there a specific age group
that is most susceptible to
experiencing depression?
Depression is an outcome of
several stressors around us.
The inability to tackle these
setbacks may lead one to sink
into a negative mindset which
if untreated, progresses to de-
pression. Major depression is
frequently observed in indi-
viduals between the ages of
25 and 45, as the pressures of
work, relationships, family
responsibilities, and financial
concerns can create signifi-
cant stress.
Is it true that the urban pop-
ulation is more prone to de-
pression than the rural pop-
ulation?
Previously, it was believed
that poverty directly causes
depression due to the stress
of survival. However, it is
now known that how indi-
viduals perceive and handle
their sadness plays a signifi-
cant role. Some people hide
their feelings, leading to
more severe and prolonged
depression, especially in the
lower middle class. Even
wealthy individuals aren’t
immune to depression. The
pressure to succeed may lead
to harmful behaviours like
substance abuse, gambling,
and unhealthy lifestyles, fur-
ther damaging self-esteem
and perpetuating a cycle of
sadness and depression.
Can you discuss any specific
success stories or patient
outcomes that you are par-
ticularly proud of in your
work with depression?
Over the years, I have wit-
nessed remarkable resilience
in individuals who have en-
dured childhood trauma,
recovered from financial
losses, and found strength
in forgiving and moving
forward from broken rela-
tionships and rebuilding
their lives. Most remark-
able of all, is a 70-year-
old patient who was the
first one I ever saw in my
private practice. He
overcame decades of
medication and electro-
convulsive therapy by
embracing the right
dose of minimal medi-
cines and CBT princi-
ples under my guid-
ance. Despite the
challenges, he navi-
gated through depres-
sion and emerged victorious,
serving as a source of inspi-
ration for others.
What role does therapy play
in the treatment of depres-
sion, and what types of
therapy do you typically
recommend?
A new perspective suggests
that therapy can benefit any-
one, not just those diagnosed
with depression, as it can be
both preventive and curative.
Cognitive therapy is based on
the premise of how our
thoughts shape our feelings,
and by reflecting on our
thinking patterns, we can
change our perception. Hu-
man beings have the power
of metacognition (thinking
about how we think). So, if
you can reflect on how you
receive information, you will
be able to change your per-
ception with practice.
Behaviour therapy is based
on the premise of Mowrer’s
paradox; which states that
negative behaviours are self-
perpetuating. If you see be-
haviour patterns and notice
how dysfunctional they are,
youcanbeinspiredtochange.
Humanistic is a client-fo-
cused approach wherein fo-
cus is placed on changing
your self-concept, and how
you react to the world, based
on your view of yourself.
Psychodynamic or psycho-
analytic therapy explores the
role of the unconscious mind
inshapingconsciousthoughts
and behaviours.
What are the potential risks
and dangers associated with
leaving depression untreat-
ed, and how do you empha-
size the importance of timely
intervention and treatment
in your practice?
Untreated clinical depression
increases the risk of un-
healthy lifestyle choices like
poor eating and sleeping hab-
its, substance abuse, isola-
tion, unemployment, help
negation and in the worst
case – suicide. Treatment in
the form of medication and
therapy is now more acces-
sible in recent years. It needs
to be assured that everyone
has the means to seek help
that will direct them to a
healthier life.
How should we address the
challenges faced by young
individuals who are finan-
cially dependent on their
parents and face resistance
or taboo regarding depres-
sion, preventing them from
seeking help?
Depression management
cannot be approached with a
one-size-fits-all strategy, as
it varies across different
ages, stages of life, and so-
cial classes. However, a cru-
cial common factor in all
types of depression is that
individuals desire to be
heard and seek help, even if
they may initially resist it.
Overcoming the stigma sur-
rounding depression is para-
mount, encouraging indi-
viduals to openly express
their emotions. In cases of
severe depression, judicious
use of medication can help
manage low moods, while
techniques like Cognitive
Behavioural Therapy (CBT),
Rational Emotive Behav-
ioural Therapy (REBT), and
Acceptance and Commit-
ment Therapy (ACT) can
help challenge negative
thoughts. With my new
book, “Why Do I Feel So
Sad?”, I hope to support and
empower individuals to con-
front their negative beliefs
and embark on a journey to-
wards self-improvement.
What is your philosophy or
approach to providing holis-
tic care to individuals with
depression, beyond just ad-
dressing their symptoms?
The best solution to depres-
sion, according to me, is one
that is customised to the de-
pressed person’s preferences,
and ability to perceive treat-
ment. I apply all therapies in
an interpersonal context and
ensure empathy, coopera-
tion, transparency, and con-
fidentiality throughout. Cog-
nitive therapies are my fa-
vourite because they help
individuals reshape their
understanding of the world
and learn how to effectively
address their present diffi-
culties. I also combine be-
haviour therapies, humanis-
tic approaches, and psycho-
dynamic therapy to cater to
patient-specific needs.
