Top qualities to look for in life partner for successful marriage

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Marriage is considered one of the most significant events in a person’s life. It is a commitment to spend the rest of the life with a partner who is compatible in every way.
Given the importance of marriage in life, it is crucial to choose the right life partner for a successful marriage. While choosing a life partner, it is important to give preference to the qualities listed in Islam for a successful marriage.
The first and most important quality to look for in a life partner is piety. A religious spouse is highly preferred in Islam. After piety, the next quality to look for in a life partner is good nature. A person with a good heart and a kind soul will make a great partner.

In Islam, class distinctions are discouraged, but believers are asked to consider compatibility when choosing a life partner. Compatibility of the couple does not limits to having common interests but also includes being on the same page when it comes to values, goals, and priorities.
Last but not least, it is important to consider the family background of your potential partner.

CJI-led five-judge bench to hear pleas for same-sex marriage on April 18

[ad_1]
New Delhi: A five-judge bench headed by CJI D Y Chandrachud, will hear a batch of petitions seeking recognition of same-sex marriage on April 18.
On March 13, while referring the matter to a constitution bench, the top court noted that it is a very seminal issue.
A bench headed by the CJI and comprising justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul, S. Ravindra Bhat, Hima Kohli, and P.S. Narasimha will hear the batch of petitions on April 18.

On March 13, a bench headed by CJI Chandrachud said, “It is a very seminal issue” while scheduling the matter for consideration before a five-judge bench. The proceedings will be live-streamed. The bench said that it will invoke Article 145 (3) of the Constitution and have this matter decided by a constitution bench, comprising five judges.
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, representing the Centre, had contended before the court that the right to love or right to express one’s love irrespective of the gender of the other person is completely different from what the court would find the mechanism to give recognition or to give a sanctity by way of an institution called marriage.
Mehta had stressed that freedom of choice has already been recognised by the apex court and no one was interfering with those rights, but conferring the right of marriage fell in the exclusive domain of the legislature.
Mehta had further contended that if marriage is recognised between the same sex, the question will be of adoption, as the child would see either two men or two women as parents, and not be reared by a father and a mother.
He added that the Parliament will then have to debate and take a call, in view of societal ethos and several other factors, on whether same-sex marriage needs to be recognised.

At this juncture, the Chief Justice had told Mehta, “The adopted child of a lesbian couple or a gay couple does not have to be necessarily a lesbian or a gay. It depends on the child, may or may not…”
The Centre, in an affidavit, contended that legal validation of same-sex marriage will cause “complete havoc” with the delicate balance of personal laws in the country and in accepted societal values.
The Centre stressed that legislative policy recognises marriage as a bond only between a biological man and a biological woman.
The Central government said that living together as partners and having a sexual relationship with same-sex individuals, which is decriminalised now, is not comparable to the Indian family unit – a husband, a wife, and children born out of the union – while opposing pleas seeking recognition of same-sex marriage.
It stressed that same-sex marriage is not in conformity with societal morality or Indian ethos.
In the affidavit, the Centre said the notion of marriage itself necessarily and inevitably presupposes a union between two persons of the opposite sex. This definition is socially, culturally, and legally ingrained into the very idea and concept of marriage and ought not to be disturbed or diluted by judicial interpretation, it said.
The Centre’s response came on a batch of petitions challenging certain provisions of the Hindu Marriage Act, Foreign Marriage Act and the Special Marriage Act and other marriage laws as unconstitutional on the ground that they deny same-sex couples the right to marry or alternatively to read these provisions broadly so as to include same-sex marriage.

Ensure appointment of child marriage prohibition officers: SC to Centre

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Thursday asked the Centre to ensure appointment of child marriage prohibition officers in every district and directed it to specify the policy steps it has taken for enforcement of the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act.
A bench of Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and Justices PS Narasimha and JB Pardiwala asked the Ministry of Women and Child Development to furnish data after collecting them from all states on the number of cases registered under the 2006 law and steps taken for its enforcement.
“The Union government shall engage with state government and ensure appointment of child marriage prohibition officers in every district and that they are not given multifarious duties,” the bench said.

The top court was hearing a plea filed by NGO ‘Society for Enlightenment and Voluntary Action’ which has claimed the Act was not being enforced in letter and spirit.
During the hearing, Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati, appearing for the Centre, said a bill was moved in Parliament seeking raising the marriageable age of women to 21 years. The bill is currently before a select committee, the ASG said.

Trouble in Aishwarya Rai, Abhishek Bachchan’s marriage?

[ad_1]
Mumbai: A recent buzz on social media has sparked speculations about the marital status of Bollywood power couple Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan. Rumors started swirling after Abhishek’s absence from recent events including the NMACC launch, where only Aishwarya and their daughter Aaradhya were seen.
Social media has been abuzz with fans and gossipmongers speculating about the state of Aishwarya and Abhishek’s marriage, with some even suggesting that trouble may be brewing between the couple.
According to recent rumors, there have been claims that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been living separately with her daughter Aaradhya due to undisclosed issues with her in-laws, particularly her mother-in-law Jaya Bachchan and sister-in-law Shweta Bachchan. These alleged issues have reportedly caused a strain in Aishwarya’s relationship with her husband Abhishek, leading her to live separately with her daughter.

Furthermore, Abhishek was not seen accompanying Aishwarya and Aaradhya at a recent NMACC event, which has fueled speculations about the state of their relationship.
However, it’s important not to jump to conclusions based on mere appearances and rumours. Let’s wait for an official announcement from the couple.
Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan got married in 2007. They welcomed their first child, daughter Aaradhya in 2011.

Rape can’t be alleged because relationship between 2 persons didn’t lead to marriage: HC

[ad_1]
Mumbai: When two mature persons have had a relationship, one of them can not allege rape later when the relations turn sour or do not culminate in marriage, the Bombay High Court has said.
Justice Bharati Dangre passed the ruling on March 29 while discharging a man from a case of rape lodged against him by a woman at the suburban Versova police station in 2016. The judgement became available this week.
“Two matured persons coming together and investing in a relationship, one cannot be blamed only because the other complained of the act at some point of time when the relationship did not go well and for whatever reason need not ultimately culminate into a marriage,” the court said.

The 26-year-old woman had claimed in her complaint that she met the man through social media, and he had a physical relationship with her by making false promises of marriage. The man subsequently moved the court seeking to be discharged from the case, pleading innocence. The judge, while granting his plea, noted that he and the woman were in a relationship for eight years.
“Admittedly, the prosecutrix (the complainant) was major at the time when the relationship was established, both emotionally and physically. She was at the age where she is presumed to have sufficient maturity of understanding the consequences of her act and according to her own version, on some occasions, the relationship was consensual, but some times it was forcible,” HC said.
The relationship had continued for “a considerable length of time” and this fact does not lead to the conclusion that “on every occasion, only on the promise of marriage the sexual relationship was established,” it added.
Further, Justice Dangre noted that merely because the relationship had turned sour it cannot be inferred that the physical relationship on every occasion was against her will. As per her own version, she consented to physical relationship not only because of the promise of marriage but also because she was in love with him, the judgement said.

Telangana: Woman kills female friend for rejecting marriage proposal

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: A woman in the Mancherial district was arrested by the police after she killed her friend and roommate when she refused to marry her.
P Malleshwari was arrested on Tuesday on charges of murdering her friend Salluri Anjali, 21, in the Ramakrishnapur forest area of the district on March 16.
According to the police, Anjali was found dead with her throat slit and wounds on her stomach in the forest.
However, Malleshwari during interrogation, confessed to her crime as she nursed a grudge against Anjali for turning down her proposal to marry her and meeting men against her will.
She said she took Anjali to the forests under the pretext of discussing their friendship and stabbed her and slit her throat following an argument.
The accused even tried to mislead the police by calling their friend Srinivas and claiming that she and Anjali attempted to kill themselves using a knife.
Srinivas immediately shifted Anjali to a hospital where doctors declared her brought dead.
Following a complaint from Anjali’s mother, a case was booked against Malleshwari, who sustained minor injuries in the scuffle.

She was taken into custody after she was relieved from the hospital.

Man files petition in Supreme court against same marriage sex

[ad_1]
The Supreme Court on Monday directed that a bunch of petitions filed for recognition of same-sex marriages be referred to a five-judge Constitution Bench of the court. Hearing on this issue will begin on April 18. However, amidst this petition a man has filed a similar sounding petition in Supreme Court.
Reportedly, a man has filed a petition in supreme court against same marriage sex, saying that having sex within the same marriage gets boring and couples be allowed to have sex outside the marriage. The man got confused with the trending news of same sex marriage and filed petition in court thinking it’s an equally big matter.
Speaking to The Fauxy, the man said “If court can decide on same sex marriage then why not about same marriage sex? if SC bans same marriage sex, then anyone can have sex with anyone but with their partner, which they already doing, but secretly”
While the sex outside marriage isn’t illegal but can be a valid ground for divorce. Hearing the man’s petition, Supreme Court lambasted the man and put Rs 1 lakh penalty for wasting court’s time.
Reportedly, the man was a playboy in his young age and was forcefully married to a girl by the family. Every-time the man wanted to have sex with different marriage or outside the marriage, his wife asked him for divorce and man is scared of his family getting to know about it.

Marriage must be backed by law respecting traditions and heritage: Rijiju

[ad_1]
New Delhi: Marriage is an institution that has to be regulated by certain laws enacted by parliament which reflects the will of the people, Law Minister Kiren Rijiju said on Tuesday, days after the government opposed in the Supreme Court legal validation of same-sex marriage.
“The only issue with the government is marriage is an institution, it has sanctity and it must be backed by law which takes into account our traditions, our ethos, our heritage — There are so many things in our country,” he said at the Lokmat National Conclave here.
He said as a government, “we are not opposed to any kind of activities done by anybody as a citizen. As a citizen, as long as you follow the law of the land, you are free to do whatever you choose to do”.
A person of any sex can also choose to lead a particular life which is suitable to him or her, he observed.
“But when you talk about marriage, marriage is an institution. Marital institutions are guided by different specific laws … When it comes to institutions, it has to be regulated by certain laws. The law must be enacted by Parliament of India. Because Parliament of India reflects the will of the people,” he said.
Courts, Rijiju pointed out, can definitely interpret many things.
The courts can also go into certain issues which require some clarity in terms of correct interpretation, he said, adding that “we have no issue on that”.
India, the minister said, is not a country which emerged suddenly. It is an ancient country with rich cultural traditions and all customary practices.

“So, that is why our position is very clear on that,” he said in response to a question on the issue of same-sex marriage.
The Centre has opposed in the Supreme Court a batch of pleas seeking legal validation of same-sex marriage, saying it would cause complete havoc with the delicate balance of personal laws and accepted societal values.
Despite the decriminalisation of Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, the petitioners cannot claim a fundamental right for same-sex marriage to be recognised under the laws of the country, it said.
In its affidavit, the Centre said the institution of marriage between two individuals of the same gender is neither recognised nor accepted in any uncodified personal laws or any codified statutory laws.
The state does not recognise non-heterosexual forms of marriages or unions or personal understandings of relationships between individuals in society but the same are not unlawful, it said.
On Monday, the Supreme Court referred the pleas seeking legal validation of same-sex marriages to a five-judge constitution bench for adjudication, saying the issue is of “seminal importance”.
A bench headed by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud said the submissions on the issue involve an interplay between constitutional rights on the one hand and special legislative enactments, including the Special Marriage Act, on the other.

Assam’s child marriage conviction rate: 494 out of 8,773 charge-sheeted

[ad_1]
Guwahati: A mere 494 persons out of 8,773 people who were charge-sheeted for child marriage and POCSO cases in Assam have been convicted since 2017, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Monday.
Replying to a query by Congress MLA Abdur Rashid Mandal in Assam Assembly, Sarma said a total of 8,773 people have been chargesheeted under Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006 (PCMA) and Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 (POCSO) between 2017 and February 2023.
“A total of 494 persons were convicted and a total of 6,174 persons released on bail,” he added. This represents a a conviction rate of just 5.63 per cent.
Sarma informed the House that 4,049 persons were arrested under the PCMA and 8,908 people have been nabbed under the POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act) across Assam from 2017 to February this year.
During the period, 134 boys under the age of 21 years, and 2,975 girls below 18-years of age married (the permissible age of marriage for males and females respectively), he added.
Reacting to the data and on the recent crackdown against child marriage accused, Mandal alleged that the Assam government is “terrorising” people using the two acts.
On this, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pijush Hazarika said: “How is it terrorising people. You (Congress government) did not frame the rule. Because of vote bank politics, you did not take any initiative.”
This led to a noisy scene in the House with both treasury and opposition benches trading charges.

In a separate query by Independent MLA Akhil Gogoi, the Chief Minister stated that 4,111 incidents of child marriage took place in the state from April 2021 to February 2023.
“A total of 4,670 cases have been registered naming 7,142 accused. Already 3,483 persons have been arrested, of which 1,182 are in jail, 2,253 have got bail and notices have been issued to 48 others,” he added.
Sarma also informed the legislators that the government has not taken any step to take responsibility for the children born out of child marriages, but said steps will be initiated if any child requires care and security.
During the debate on the Motion of Thanks on the Governor’s address, Leader of the Opposition Debabrata Saikia said slapping of POCSO and rape cases on child marriage accused have created disturbances in the society with many old people getting arrested.
AIUDF’s Aminul Islam climed the government hatched a conspiracy and accordingly slapped POCSO and rape charges on the people, who had married 7-8 years.
Congress MLA Bharat Chandra Narah refuted the government claim on Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) and said child marriage is one of the reasons for high MMR in Assam, but not the only cause.
CPI(M)’s Manoranjan Talukdar said: “The government said the PCMA was not implemented. If so, who is responsible for that? The BJP was in power in Assam for over six years now.”
He also said that no awareness against child marriage has been created in the state and Assam should follow Kerala model as there is hardly any case of child marriage in the Southern state.

‘A right stand’: Activist Rahul Easwar on same-sex marriage

[ad_1]
Thiruvananthapuram: Terming the institution of marriage as a “Sacramental union” social activist Rahul Easwer on Sunday said that the union government has taken a right stand after it opposed the plea seeking legal recogniton of same-sex marriage.
“Everyone agrees there must be any kind of homophobia. At the same time marriage is a sacrosanct institution from many centuries. I appreciate the government for taking it very slowly and with caution,” Easwar said.
“We need much more deliberations. Everyone agrees there should not be any kind of discrimination. There should not be any kind of phobia at the same point of time even living together,” he added.
Centre, in its affidavit, has opposed the plea seeking legal recognition of same-sex marriage, saying that living together as partners by same-sex individuals, which is decriminalised now, is not comparable with the Indian family unit and they are clearly distinct classes which cannot be treated identically.
The Centre has filed the affidavit countering the demand made by various petitioners seeking legal recognition of same-sex marriage.
In the affidavit, Centre has opposed the plea and said that pleas seeking legal recognition of same-sex ought to be dismissed as there exists no merit in these petitions.
“I think the central Government has taken the right stand,” Rahul Easwer added. “There are still debates going on in scientific communities on this subject”.
Same-sex relationships and heterosexual relationships are clearly distinct classes which cannot be treated identically, the government said as its stand against the petition seeking legal recognition of LGBTQ marriage.

It is for the legislature to judge and enforce such societal morality and public acceptance based upon Indian ethos, the Centre said in its affidavit and added that western decisions sans any basis in Indian constitutional law jurisprudence, cannot be imported in this context.
In the affidavit, Centre apprised the Supreme Court that living together as partners by same sex individuals, which is decriminalised now, is not comparable with the Indian family unit concept of a husband, a wife and children.
Centre submitted that the principles of legitimate state interest as an exception to life and liberty under Article 21 would apply to the present case. Centre submitted that the statutory recognition of marriage as a union between a “man” and a “woman” is intrinsically linked to the recognition of the heterogeneous institution of marriage and the acceptance of the Indian society based upon its own cultural and societal values which are recognized by the competent legislature.
“There is an intelligible differentia (normative basis) which distinguishes those within the classification (heterosexual couples) from those left out (same-sex couples). This classification has a rational relation with the object sought to be achieved (ensuring social stability via recognition of marriages),” the government said.
