The present fifth edition of this much-acclaimed work by Mamta Rao is a well-researched and systematically organised study of the legal issues relating to women and children. The author examines the various challenges faced by women and discusses crimes against women, including rape, dowry death, female foeticide, sexual harassment at the workplace, and domestic violence. The work also analyses important issues concerning children, such as child labour, child abuse, and juvenile delinquency.
The following are the highlights of this new edition:
This edition incorporates significant statutory amendments and recent judg-ments of the Supreme Court and various High Courts, ensuring its continued relevance for both academic study and practical application. It reflects the substantial legal and policy developments undertaken in recent years to address the challenges faced by women and children and to strengthen their safety, dignity, equality, and access to justice.
The book also analyses important developments relating to dowry offences, cruelty, reproductive rights, medical termination of pregnancy, female foeticide, divorce, maintenance, adoption, maternity benefits, the rights of children, and issues relating to juvenile justice. The discussion of the new criminal laws highlights the continuing evolution of India's criminal justice system towards more effective protection of victims and improved mechanisms for investigation, prosecution, and justice delivery.
The book is an invaluable resource for LL.B. and LL.M. students, judicial officers, lawyers, NGOs, bureaucrats, women's rights activists, and all those interested in the legal dimensions of issues relating to women and children.
Extract from the Foreword
On going through the book, I must say that the author has not only discussed the burning problems relating to women and children but has also endeavoured to redress them. This book would definitely help, not only law students but also lawyers and Judges, in understanding the law relating to women and children.
- Justice A.K. Shrivastava Judge, High Court of M.P.
