The aim of webinar is to address and discuss the various new developments and challenges in the field of family law in the present scenario.In addition to the topic the speaker dealt with the Special Marriage Act 1954 which applies to all persons of all religions and also discussed about the civil legislation and parties from all religions, caste or community which  can elect to marry under it.

Family law responds well to a diverse and pluralistic society when providing for post-divorce financial arrangements, but less well when it comes to cultural and religious diversity and diversity of family forms. It is a site on which strongly held values collide. As a result, it seems family law is likely to remain an area of controversy and contestation for the foreseeable future.
