Single Parenting

Single Parenting

The notion that single parenting is detrimental to children is widely held, yet this is not the case, as a good single parent is preferable to two parents who create a poisonous environment for their children. Managing single parenting requires a little more effort, and the lockdown atmosphere had a negative impact on single parents, who found it increasingly difficult to handle both household duties and professional employment, in addition to the burden of raising their children, in this climate.

Social customs and expectations

It has had a negative impact on the lives of single parents because of myths and stereotypes that others hold.

Single parenthood is not acceptable when it comes to raising children. They are frequently compelled to marry in order to secure a second spouse in order to properly raise the child.

Although this can sometimes result in a poisonous relationship and even worsen the child's upbringing, it is not always the case. Societal conventions frequently result in the suppression of the weaker gender, which can have a harmful impact on the child.

A single parent is defined as someone who lives with their child or children and who does not have a spouse or live-in partner.

Single parenthood can be brought about by a variety of circumstances, including divorce, domestic abuse, rape, the death of another spouse, or a single personal adoption. And divorce and marital violence are unpleasant aspects to consider, and for those who have chosen to become single parents, these issues make it difficult to live a tranquil existence. There are many obstacles between them and the rest of the world, such as unhappy marriages, which is causing the divorce rate to rise.

The disparity in educational attainment among single mothers

Because of the rising educational differences between single mothers and other mothers, there has been widespread concern about the consequences of single parenting for social inequality. A single mother's family is more likely to experience poverty and other dangers to their well-being, and growing up in a single-mother family can result in worse educational attainment and psychological well-being as an adult. When it comes to single mothers with limited educational opportunities, the likelihood of poverty and other negative effects can be particularly high.

These moms are frequently placed at a disadvantage in the labour market, since their career opportunities are limited not just by their low levels of education, but also by the difficulties they face in balancing paid work with home duties. Low levels of education and employment, along with insufficient policies, might result in the 'triple bind,' which has a negative impact on the well-being of single mother homes. And dealing with so much emotional and physical stigma is difficult for any single mother, let alone one who is raising children alone.

The effect on the child

A single-parent household is associated with higher rates of school failure, delinquency, drug use, adolescent pregnancy, poverty, and reliance on public assistance.

Emma Fransson and colleagues' statistics demonstrate that the performance of single parent families is bad. When compared to children from intact homes, their physical health, behavioural health, mental health, peer friendship, cultural activities, sports, and family relationships are all better.

Poor behavioural outcomes and a high level of psychological disturbance are observed in children who have experienced a collapse in family structure. Many times, especially in single-parent households, the child is forced to make a decision without consulting their parents, and the consequences of that decision are reflected in their choices of what is good and wrong.

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.
