Recently, a bill has been introduced in the Lok Shabha , The Prohibition of Child Marriage (Amendment) Bill,2021, which increases the age of marriage for women from 18 years to 21 years. And also, increase the period in which a marriage by a minor can be canceled. According to The Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2005 Sec 3(3), child marriage is voidable and can be canceled by the parties after 2 years of attaining the majority. This by the bill has been increase to 5 years. 

In India women still doesn’t enjoy equal rights as men. Not, the society let them to enjoy. Article 14 of the Indian Constitution talks about right to equality but on the other hand the marriage age for both the gender is different. Also, there are many jobs which are not opened for female. 

This bill is solving the first issue and bringing equality among both the gender for marriage age. The Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2005 have discriminated the marriage age for male and female, for the former it is 21 years and for the latter it is 18 years. Which goes with the ideology that female become mature before than a male and therefore they can be got married with 18 years of age.

Now, how this bill will affect the Country, in India still girls are not treated as equal as boys. Maximum parents of girls, think that the girl is someone else’s property (Paraya Dhan) and they should marry her as soon as possible and then it will be the responsibility of her in laws. This bill will help in reducing this ideology as when the girl marriage age will be 21 she will also be able to study or not if studies then she will able to take care of her in-laws and herself better than what she was expected to do when she was just 18 years old. 

After marriage the whole burden comes on the girls shoulder for managing the house, then children and everything. But no one understands that how a girl, who is still a child, will be able to handle a child.  A report shows that the girls who give birth to a child before the age of 20 years have a greater risk of disease like, bleeding during pregnancy, toxemia, hemorrhage, prolonged, etc. 

This bill will benefit girls, as in the rural areas as soon as, the girls married she is forced by the family to have a child or rather there VARISH.

Effects of Non-Registration

 Effects of Non-Registration The Companies Act, 2013 evidently highlights that the main essential for any organization to turn into a company is to get itself registered. A company cannot come into existence until it gets registered. But no such obligation has been imposed for firms by the Indian Partnership Act, 1932. If a firm is not registered it does not cease to be called as a firm, it still exists in the eyes law. Certainly, such a big advantage is not absolute but is subjected to a lot of limitations which we will study further. Non-registration of a firm simply means that the business skips the formalities of incorporation and ceases to exist in the eyes of the law. section 58 of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 deals with the procedure of incorporation. Likewise, the meaning of non-registration is the exact opposite of registration, meaning when a firm does not go through the procedure of incorporation or start carrying on activities without getting registered.

Case Laws related to Defamation in favour of ClaimantCase Laws related to Defamation in favour of Claimant. TOLLEY Vs, J.S FRY & SONS LTD – (1931) Facts The defendants were owners of chocolate manufacturing company. They advertised their products with a caricature of the claimant, who was a prominent amateur golfer, showing him with the defendants’ chocolate in his pocket while playing golf. The advertisement compared the excellence of the chocolate to the excellence of the claimant’s drive. The claimant did not consent to or knew about the advertisement. Issue The claimant alleged that the advertisement suggested that he agreed to his portrait being used for commercial purposes and for financial gain. He further claimed that the use of his image made him look like someone who prostituted his reputation for advertising purposes and was thus unworthy of his status. At trial, several golfers gave evidence to the effect that if an amateur sold himself for advertisement, he no longer maintained his amateur status and might be asked to resign from his respective club. Furthermore, there was evidence that the possible adverse effects of the caricature on the claimant’s reputation were brought to the defendants’ attention. The trial judge found that the caricature could have a defamatory meaning. The jury then found in favor of the claimant. Held The House of Lords held that in the circumstances of this case – as explained by the facts – the caricature was capable of constituting defamation. In other words, the publication could have the meaning alleged by the claimant. The Lords also ordered a new trial limited to the assessment of damages. NEWSTEAD V LANDON EXPRESS NEWSPAPER LTD, (1939) Facts: A newspaper published a defamatory article about Harold Newstead. However, another person with this name brought an action in libel. He claimed that the article had been misunderstood as leading to him. The defendant newspaper recognised that they published the article. Also, they denied that they had the intention of being defamatory of him. Consequently, the claimant argued that the newspaper was under a duty. The duty was to give a clear and complete description of the correct person. Moreover, the claimant argued that the defendants were in breach of the duty. Issues: The issue in Newstead v London Express Newspaper, was if the reasonable persons would have understood the words complained of to refer to the plaintiff. Held: The Court of Appeal stated that in accordance with the current law on libel, liability for libel does not depend on the intention of the defamer; but on the fact of the defamation. Accordingly, a reasonable man, in this case a newspaper publisher, must be aware of the possibility of individuals with the same name and must assume that the words published will be read by a reasonable man with reasonable care.

Concept of constitutionalism

  Concept of constitutionalism Who Started Constitutionalism? John Locke - The English Bill of Rights is a foundational constitutional document that helped inspire the American Bill of Rights. Political theorist  John Locke  played a huge role in cementing the philosophy of constitutionalism.  Constitution is a written law which describes the structure of Government, the rules according to which the Govt. must work and the boundaries within which the Govt. must work.
