Preface/Outline of the Subject

Each religious community in India has its own concepts or personal matters, like marriage,
divorce, sonship, adoption, guardianship, custody and maintenance etc. This branch of law is
given the name of family law. This law derives its authority from scriptures, customs,
traditions, statutory enactments and judicial pronouncements. Thus Hindus (including Sikh,
Jain and Buddhist), Muslims (Shia and Sunni), Christians and Parsis have their separate
personal laws governing family relations.

Hindu Law

The history of the Hindu law goes back to more than three thousand years. Its origin can be
traced in the Vedic literature, social and cultural revolutions and social reforms in the Hindu
society, down through the centuries, brought out various changes in its family law. After
independence, a spate of codifications and reforms followed in several fields of Hindu law.
The two major enactments i.e. The Hindu Succession Act, 1956 and The Hindu Minority and
Guardianship Act , 1956 will be elaborately dealt with in this Semester.

Muslim Law

Muslim law is administered in modern India in matters of family relations arising between
Muslims. Its main sources are the sacred texts of Islamic literature (including commentaries
and digests) supplemented by legislation and case law etc. There has not been much
legislative activity in India with regard to matters governing family relations among Muslims.
There are different ‘Schools’, which interpret Muslim law differently. The Hanafi School
(one of the four Schools of the Sunni Sect) covers a vast majority of Muslims all over India.
The Ithna Ashari School governs most of the Shias. Muslims belonging to the Shafei School
are mostly found in South India. Before the passing of the Shariat Act 1937 certain
communities amongst the Muslims were governed by their customary law (in certain
matters). Important amongst these were:

(i) The Khojas, a trading community of Shias, found in Gujarat and Maharashtra
(particularly, the city of Bombay). (ii) The Bohras (also a trading community of Shia
Muslims) found in Gujarat, Maharashtra and some districts (notably Udaipur) of Rajasthan.

(iii) The Cutchi Memons (a Sunni Muslim trading community) found in Gujarat (where they
originated in Kutchh) and Maharashtra (notably, the city of Bombay). (iv) The Meos of
Haryana. (v) The Mopilla of Kerala who still retain the custom of Tarwad.

3
Reverting to the principal School of Muslim law (Hanafi, Ithna, Ashari, Shafei, Maliki etc.it
should be mentioned that these Schools, unlike the Schools of Hindu law, are not based on
regional variations, but on doctrinal differences.Muslim law as administered in modern India
is, to a very large extent, uncodified. Its rules have, therefore, to be deduced from the sacred
texts.

Objectives of the Course

The course is so designed as to acquaint, train and equip the students with the comprehensive
knowledge of the personal laws operating in Indian society. These laws have their bases in
the religions of the respective communities. The students are motivated to study these laws
with historical and social perspective so that they can understand the reasons for the
emergence of these laws and also the anxiety of the founding fathers of the Constitution for
the Uniform Civil Code (vide Article 44 of the Constitution). Thus, the students are required
to study these laws in the Constitutional framework so that they can form their own opinion
as to how far it is proper to have secular matters related to religion.

The students will study personal laws of Hindus, Muslims, Christians and Parsis on
comparative basis. They will themselves find out the points of similarity and difference in
these laws. Thus, a study of personal laws on comparative lines will best train the budding
lawyers to initiate and work for reform in personal laws so that the process of unification
started in the National Law Universities may, one day, fulfill the dream of the founding
fathers of Uniform Civil Code for all the citizens of India which will contribute towards the
unity and integrity of the country. Special care will be taken in the Course to look at status of
women and children in family relations with a view to ensure greater protection of
Constitutional Rights of these people in family law administration. To conclude the Course
objectives in more precise form are as follows:

 To inculcate the skill of reading and understanding of Family law;

 To identify emerging issues in the Family law development;

 To examine the historical evolution of Hindu jurisprudence, Islamic jurisprudence

and other jurisprudential theories in the world;

 To familiarize with the most prominent aspects of the concepts and their subsequent
developments in the contemporary world;

4
 To get acquainted with the problems and lacunas of the Indian Family laws;

 To analyze and interpret sacred and statutory text and offer contextual interpretation
before the Courts in India and abroad;

 To understand and articulate gender sensitive issues, their interpretation and

application in matrimonial related matters;

 To understand and articulate the internal logic of an “argument” and whether it is

consistent or inconsistent with similar “arguments” previously made;

 To recognize and articulate the strengths and weaknesses of an ‘argument’

independent of one’s level of agreement with it;

 To articulate opinions on significant, vital, controversial and current family issues;

and

 To develop and enhance skills with regard to family matters and their interpretation in
the context.
