INTIMACY UNDONE MARRIAGE, DIVORCE AND FAMILY LAW IN INDIA Paperback

"Intimacy Undone: Marriage, Divorce and Family Law in India" by Malavika Rajkotia is an illuminating and critical examination of the complexities surrounding marriage, divorce, and family law within the Indian context. Drawing upon her extensive experience as a leading divorce lawyer, Rajkotia delves into the nuanced interplay of historical roots, societal shifts, and legal frameworks that shape intimate relationships in India. The book unpacks various aspects of marital discord—from infidelity and domestic violence to property disputes and child custody battles—and critically analyzes the evolution of family law, including the ongoing discourse around the Uniform Civil Code. Through courtroom anecdotes, case law, and insightful commentary, Rajkotia not only demystifies the legal processes but also critiques institutional foibles and champions the continuous pursuit of a more equitable society through family law.
