Inter-religious marriages are legally valid in India under the Special Marriage Act of 1954, but are often not accepted by families or society. Such marriages can face challenges including lack of family support, deciding the religion of children, and difficulties in understanding each other's religious beliefs and ways of life. Additionally, in some areas inter-religious couples face threats, violence and "honor killings" intended to uphold family traditions, especially from unofficial village councils. While the law recognizes their validity, changing social attitudes remains an ongoing challenge.
Khap panchayats are village councils in parts of North India that govern clan-based communities. They started as a way for upper-caste Jat clans to consolidate power over villages. Khap panchayats enforce social rules through boycotts and fines, and in some cases killings or forcing victims to commit suicide. Their main rule is that marriage is forbidden between individuals from the same clan or villages under the council's jurisdiction. While khap panchayats were traditionally responsible for local administration and dispute resolution, modern critics argue they violate individual rights and often issue rulings against women and cultural changes. There is a debate over whether India still needs such councils given younger generations' exposure to new ideas.
Two early prison systems that emerged in the 19th century in America were the Pennsylvania System and the Auburn System. The Pennsylvania System involved solitary confinement and silence, with no corporal punishment. The Auburn System was implemented in a New York prison in 1815 and had inmates work silently together during the day. These systems spread across America and the world. Early American prisons were often dark, overcrowded, and unsanitary, housing both minor criminals and felons. Through the 19th century, prison reform sought to use incarceration to morally reform inmates through discipline and labor, rather than just punishment.

The document discusses intercaste marriage in India, including its definition, challenges, attitudes, advantages and disadvantages. It provides statistics from surveys showing that while intercaste marriages are increasing, comprising about 5% of marriages, many Indians still prefer marriages within the same caste and community. The government provides some incentives to encourage intercaste marriage, such as cash rewards and loans for couples, though rural areas continue to strongly discourage the practice.
This document discusses LGBT health disparities. Minority stress from discrimination and stigma experienced by LGBT individuals can negatively impact their mental and physical health, contributing to higher rates of issues like substance abuse, HIV/AIDS, and depression. Health disparities also stem from a lack of healthcare providers with cultural competence regarding LGBT health issues. The document advocates for healthcare professionals to receive more training to address assumptions and biases, and to help reduce health disparities facing the LGBT community through informed, inclusive, and non-judgmental care.

The document discusses various forms of violence against women that occur in India, including rising crimes against women, child marriage, acid attacks, domestic violence, dowry deaths, rape, female foeticide, honour killings, witchcraft murders, and female infanticide. It notes that the number of crimes against women reported in Mumbai more than doubled from 2012 to 2013. It also discusses that violence can be reduced through sustained efforts to change social norms and address gender inequalities.
The document discusses the differences between sex and gender from biological and social perspectives. Biologically, there are anatomical, physiological, genetic, and vulnerability differences between males and females. Socially, gender roles assign responsibilities, behaviors, expectations, power, access, rights, and entitlement that typically assign lower status to women and higher status to men. A gender analysis framework is presented to help identify differences in roles, power imbalances, needs, constraints, and opportunities between males and females to understand how these impact health outcomes like vulnerability to disease and access to care.
Gay marriage, also known as same-sex marriage, is the marriage between two people of the same sex. While some cultures have accepted same-sex unions throughout history, gay marriage is a recent development and is still controversial. Supporters argue that denying gay people the right to marry denies them equal rights and benefits. However, others argue that gay marriage weakens traditional family values or goes against certain religious beliefs. The debate around legalizing gay marriage involves discussions of ethics, equality, and how society defines marriage.
Honor killings involve the murder of a family member by other family members due to a belief that the victim has brought shame or dishonor upon the family. They commonly occur when a person refuses an arranged marriage, engages in a forbidden relationship, or is the victim of rape. While honor killings have deep historical and cultural roots, they violate basic human rights. In India, about 1000 honor killings occur annually, though there is no specific law against the practice. It is typically prosecuted under murder statutes. Various international agreements also prohibit gender-based discrimination and violence. Strengthening laws, increasing awareness, protecting victims, and changing social attitudes are all seen as important to prevent future honor killings.
This document provides an overview of gender-based violence and the roles of international organizations and states in addressing it. It discusses how (1) the UN and WHO have categorized and raised awareness about gender-based violence through various declarations, conferences, and studies; (2) states have responded by enacting legislation against practices like honor killings, dowry violence, and workplace harassment in Pakistan; and (3) both state and non-state actors must collaborate through legal reforms, public awareness campaigns, and victim support services to promote women's rights and prevent gender-based violence.
This document discusses diversity in the world and defines prejudice, stereotyping, discrimination, and the harms they cause. It provides examples of direct and indirect discrimination based on attributes like age, disability, gender, race, and religion. Discrimination can negatively impact people physically, emotionally, socially, and financially by causing anxiety, depression, loss of interest and withdrawal. It also lowers productivity in businesses and societies by creating disgruntled and distrustful employees. Strong laws exist to protect against discrimination, and prevention requires open-minded parenting, education of children about appreciating differences, and fostering respect for all people.
Should Society Accept Same Sex Marriage - A reportSamuel pongen
The document discusses arguments for and against allowing same-sex marriage in society. It notes that while some argue legalizing same-sex marriage could weaken the institution of marriage, deny procreation as its purpose, and send the wrong message, others argue that denying homosexuals the right to marry denies them basic rights. Research shows homosexuality is not a choice but likely influenced by genetic factors. Legalizing same-sex marriage could provide benefits to same-sex couples like heterosexual married couples receive. The document concludes that human rights should apply to all and same-sex couples deserve the same legal rights and benefits as opposite-sex couples through a system that does not degrade religious views of marriage.
The document discusses the history and current status of inter-caste and inter-religious marriages in India. Traditionally, marriages were strictly within castes and crossing caste lines was punished severely. However, over time social reformers have worked to end the rigid caste system and discrimination. Today, while inter-caste marriages face less opposition in cities, they are still not fully accepted in rural areas where the caste system remains deeply ingrained. The government has implemented policies to encourage inter-caste unions and social activists continue efforts to promote acceptance.

Over the years Dowry has become a form of psychological, physical, and financial violence not only against women but also against any man who is a guardian of a woman.
This document discusses different types of discrimination that can occur in the workplace, including discrimination based on race, gender, appearance, and caste. It provides examples and definitions for each type. Racial discrimination refers to treating someone unfavorably because of their race or ethnicity. Gender discrimination at workplaces includes paying women lower wages than men for the same work. Appearance discrimination, also called lookism, is judging or rejecting someone due to their physical appearance. Caste discrimination in India involves an ancient system that divides people into social hierarchies and can still impact housing and job opportunities today. Anti-discrimination laws aim to promote equal opportunities regardless of personal attributes.
The document discusses the importance of gender sensitization and promoting gender equality. It defines key terms like gender, sex, and gender stereotypes. It explains how gender stereotypes can negatively impact both girls and boys by limiting their choices and potential. The document provides examples of gender discrimination faced by women globally and in India.

Secularism refers to the separation of religion from state affairs and government. The key aspects of secularism discussed in the document are that it separates religious institutions from the state, ensures religion does not interfere in state matters, and protects religious minorities. Indian secularism differs from other models in that it allows some state intervention in religious affairs to prevent discrimination, such as banning the religious practice of untouchability.

This document provides an overview of crimes against women in India. It discusses the meaning and types of crimes and violence against women, as well as constitutional provisions and national initiatives to curb gender violence. The key points are:
1. Crimes against women are classified under the Indian Penal Code and special/local laws, and include rape, kidnapping, dowry deaths, torture, molestation, sexual harassment, and importation of girls.
2. The Indian constitution guarantees women equal rights and opportunities, while legal provisions include laws against dowry, sexual harassment, domestic violence, and more.

The document discusses same-sex adoption rights in India following the decriminalization of Section 377. It argues that while Section 377 was abolished, no laws exist to provide same-sex couples the same family and adoption rights as heterosexual couples. Current family and adoption laws in India only recognize heterosexual unions and are discriminatory toward same-sex couples. The document considers alternatives like civil unions that could provide legal recognition and rights to same-sex couples without requiring changes to personal laws. It concludes that the Indian government should enact laws allowing same-sex couple adoption through the judiciary or legislation to ensure all citizens have equal rights and parenting opportunities.

Gay Marriage should be Legal
Gay marriage refers to a marriage between people of the same sex. Marriage is a union that allows people the joy of companionship and love, both of which make life more fulfilling. Every human being seeks to feel a sense of belonging and acceptance, and each person looks for this acceptance from others who will share in his or her values and beliefs. When a person finds someone with whom they share these similarities, they marry and form a family where they feel accepted and treasured. Companionship therefore is a natural instinct that every person is born with, and gay persons have the same instinct as heterosexuals. Some suggest that gay people should form their union in secret but not in the public eye. However, that is equal to discrimination, and gay people have a right to show their love and desire to be with their companions for life openly. There are several reasons why gay marriage should be legalized, and these are both social and legal.
The major argument against gay marriage is the notion that same sex marriage are anti- procreation and that legalizing gay marriages will lead to a decrease in birth rate since the core of marriage is procreation. According to the data from 2011 census, six states permit gay marriage, these states that permit gay marriage are growing more slowly than the rest of the country. Here are the data Connecticut: 4.9%, Iowa: 4.1%, Massachusetts: 3.1%, New Hampshire: 6.5%, New York: 2.1%, Vermont: 2.8%. These are the population growth rate between 2000 to 2011 for those states that permit gay marriage. More so, if gay marriage is legalized, it does not stop heterosexual couples from having children. The two are not mutually exclusive, and thus, legalizing gay marriage does not impede on the ability of the heterosexual couples to procreate. There are also various avenues of procreation in today’s modern world, and these avenues favor procreation even in gay marriages. An example is the use of surrogate mothers and in-vitro fertilization. These two options allow same sex couples to have children with their own DNA, which nullifies the argument that gay marriages are a danger to procreation. This argument on procreation insinuates that gay marriage would be acceptable if the partners could bear and nurture children. However, the same people who put up this argument go further to contradict themselves by saying that same sex households are unfit environments for raising children. Therefore, they ideally prefer if same sex partners remain childless yet they attack them about it. There has been no sociological research or any data proving that children raised by same sex partners are less equipped to be in society than those raised in heterosexual marriages. Therefore, this cannot be a basis to disapprove the legalizing of gay marriage since the basis of the argument is prejudiced.

Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentationseri bangash
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.

1. “VALIDITY OF INTER RELIGIOUS MARRIAGES” BY-VISHNU TANDI ABSTRACT Inter religious marriages are valid under the special marriage act 1954 but still such kinds of marriages are not accepted by the family members in this modernised world. If the relationship is based on the true love and there is a reasonable understanding and flexibility, religion should not stand in the way of relationship. It is not necessary to that couple has to belong to the same religion to understand each other. These kinds of marriages are perfectly valid under special marriage Act 1954 but still they are considered to be invalid under society’s view and thinking. Society’s view of such marriages is that two persons belonging to different religion which is considered to be a way of life cannot stay together. But apart from society Inter-religious marriages are not accepted initially from family as well as friends in some cases. In this paper we would like to present on the theme of inter religious marriages, validity of such marriages in the society, the acceptance of such marriages in the society and family, the status of children out of such marriages and the challenges facing to understanding each other. The problems faced by the persons out of such marriages and the changes in the way of life after the marriage. We would like to end this discussion by concluding the different views on inter-religious marriages and the problems faced by the persons under inter-religious marriages. INTRODUCTION:- Marriage is a life-long commitment of one wife and one husband, and is the strongest social bond that takes place between a man and a woman who are respecting, responsible, honest and sincere. Basically inter religion marriage traditional called mixed marriage, is between partners professing different religion. In earlier days it was customary to marry in the same religion. If anyone dares to disobey the rules of the society, he was confined to serve punishment. Whole community was barred from keeping any relation with the family where inter religion marriage had taken palace. Customs and religion practiced were so strict and merciless that
2. even sometimes the boy and girl were hacked to death by their own family members due to the pressure from the society. Relationship should be based on love and better understanding of each other not on the religion. For years, people had an orthodox mindset. They couldn’t imagine inter religion marriages. They had a conception that marriages are only possible in the same community, cast and religion. However, with time things changed and inter religious marriage also became a part of the society. But a bitter truth still remains the same-the non-acceptance of inter religion marriages. Islamic view is that the Marriage is a contractual relationship between two individuals, according to Islam. If the contractual parties do not stand in the list of prohibited degrees of marriage, as given in the Quranic text, as such, (Quran, 4:22-23) differences in race, religion, caste, and economic status should not stand in the way of their marriage, provided the non- Muslim party has clearly repudiated idol-worship in theory and practice. A Muslim marrying a non-Muslim does not violate any basic tenet of Islam so long as the non-Muslim, as an individual, does not commit himself or herself to idolatry. The Islamic canon law (shariah) already allows Muslim males to marry Jewish or Christian women. This amounts to accepting, in principle, the idea of inter-religious marriage. This step was a notable, rather a revolutionary, advance made by Islam in the direction of the humanistic concept of marriage as a loving contract between individuals irrespective of their religion.
Inter religious marriages are getting equally acceptable and common. When two people meet in matrimony, they should respect each other, especially so if it’s an inter religious marriage. It is very important to remember that all the religion teach the same basic goodness.
Problems facing by couple in inter religious marriage:- The WSO legal counsel, when asked whether inter-religious couples are subject to violence, stated: While it isn't the norm for inter-faith couples to be subject to violence, it does happen. The threat of violence would exist, in the vast majority of cases, from the families involved. Only
3. in certain rural areas would individuals outside the family take an interest in an inter-faith marriage and take any action. (24 Apr. 2012). According to Human Rights Watch, khap panchayats, "unofficial village councils," in the northern states of Haryana, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh, may issue edicts forbidding inter- religious marriages, among other types of mixed marriages (18 July 2010). Family members have, in turn, threatened couples, filed false cases of abduction against couples, or killed spouses, as a way of upholding the family's "'honour'" (Human Rights Watch 18 July 2010).
The challenges of inter-religious couples are therefore a lot more complex, running a lot deeper. There are some challenges which they face-
LACK OF SUPPORT FROM FRIENDS AND FAMILY-
Though inter religious marriage is valid but then also it is not accepted by society. Friends and family do not support such kinds of marriages. Family do not accept because they think their social status will decrease. But inter-religion marriages are no more complicated than normal marriages. It is all about adopting the right outlook and ensuring that you stand up for your rights and protect your individuality.
CHILDREN-
Second important factor in inter religious marriage is the religion followed by the children. There is a constant hustle in the parents that the child follows his/her religion. One the question of religion of their children, most women show a very strong desire to pass on their own religion to the kids. Our society is still a male dominant society; in almost all cases the children take the religion of their father. But in practice he will follow both the religions.
CHALLENGES UNDERSTANDING EACH OTHER-
As you know, a religion is a way of life. For example, If one party is Hindu he used to seeing idols worshipped every day in home. And another party is Muslim so he or she will follow his or her religion. Religion shapes everything from lifestyle, to philosophy of life. Two people coming from two different religious backgrounds, thus, need to make extra efforts to understand each other.
4. KHAP PANCHAYAT – In some Haryana villages, the young girls are routinely threatened, abused and killed all under Khap verdicts. It is acceptable for the families to feed pesticide pills to the teenage girls and then dispose off their bodies by burning them without any police records. The entire onus of siblinghood rests on the girl. She is the keeper of village honor [3]. Sometimes rules are bend for the boys but a girl is never allowed to bend the rules. If a couple runs away then the families risk the boycott and hefty fines in lakhs of rupees. Even the other women of the house are abused. In keeping with the khap rules, old villages try to keep the young people apart. According to Human Rights Watch, khap panchayats, "unofficial village councils," in the northern states of Haryana, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh, may issue edicts forbidding inter- religious marriages, among other types of mixed marriages (18 July 2010). Family members have, in turn, threatened couples, filed false cases of abduction against couples, or killed spouses, as a way of upholding the family's "'honour'" (Human Rights Watch 18 July 2010).
HONOR KILLING- (Honor for the Family, Death for the Girl)
In many parts of country especially north part of India, if girl makes her choice and marriage according that, she is killed by her own relatives, and the ‘nice sounding’ but atrocious words is prefixed to that, ‘honor killing! ‘Honor’ for the family, death for the girl. In many cases they are forced to separate, the girl being asked to tie rakhi on her husband’s wrist. The boy or couple being killed at times and in the worst of the cases the girl being raped on the dictates of the panchayat have also been reported. It is unnatural for parents to murder their children for falling in love with person of different religion. It will not hampered their honour but it will be safer for their beloved children whom they wanted their good future.
STATE PROTECTION – India's Special Marriage Act-1954, which came into effect on 1 January 1955, allows for inter-religious marriages, but requires that couples give written notice of their intent to marry at least 30 days before the marriage (India 1954, Sec. 1, 4, 5, 7). Human Rights Watch notes that the 30 day notice period is sometimes used by families to locate and even kill or forcibly break up couples (18 July 2010).
