What is Family Law?

Indian Family Law governs personal relationships and family matters including marriage, divorce, adoption, inheritance, and guardianship. These laws differ based on religion and personal customs, and are primarily governed under:

• Hindu Law (Hindu Marriage Act, 1955; Hindu Succession Act, 1956)
• Muslim Law (based on Shariat and personal laws)
• Christian Law (Indian Christian Marriage Act, 1872; Divorce Act, 1869)
• Parsi Law (Parsi Marriage and Divorce Act, 1936)
• Special Marriage Act, 1954 (for interfaith and civil marriages)
