Unitedworld
School of Law, Karnavati University hosted a talk delivered by
Supreme Court Advocate and gender rights activist Ms. Malavika
Rajkotia as a part of their orientation programme for the class of
2018-23. The topic of the talk was “the complexity of gender issues
in family law.” She discussed issues in family law and criminal law
through an interdisciplinary perspective incorporating the approaches
of sociology, gender studies, and psychology with law. She stressed
on the plural character of Indian culture. The areas that her talk
dealt with include the issues of patriarchy, gender discrimination,
pluralism, gender colonialism and more. She also introduced a fresh
understanding of epics like the Mahabharata giving a new dimension to
the lessons and thus linking it to the study of family law. The
audience had a good opportunity to engage with Adv. Rajkotia through
a question and answer session near the end of the programme.
