Rights of a Dead Person

This thesis throws light on the rights of the dead person. This Article asks why the law gives decedents certain legal rights but not others. This article assessed the rights of the dead person in India and all over the globe. Salmond was of the view that the personality of a man commences from his birth and ends with his death. Interestingly, everyone knows what a dead is but never knows about the dignity, reputation that the dead person holds. Law protects the reputation of the dead.

Critical Analysis of the Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019

Today almost everything about your daily life is being monitored, such as locations you visit, pictures, any transaction you make, etc. is being tracked by corporations and this information is being sold to organizations by companies who monitor your data. All this is done without your permission, which is morally incorrect. In this rapid age of technology and the internet, data is the greatest asset for a person, but at the same time the most insecure asset. About every area of everyday life, not only limited to health care, banking, travel, etc., allows us to share our private information with another person or organization for the same to be processed in order to provide us with the relevant services. Some of the information is exchanged willingly and, in some situations, inadvertently where we are obliged to disclose the information to make use of the service needed...

An Attempt to Understand the Impact of Anti-Superstition Laws

Superstition is one the biggest curses that I believe humans have borne over ages. Even in this modern society we find instances of inhumane behavior also, some very immoral and unacceptable acts that happen just because of our false beliefs and desires. Each year many innocent people lose their lives to this activity just for the sake of some misconceptions that we grow in our minds. It is necessary to understand that no religion allows any kind of activity that harms others, even some scriptures warn people that thinking bad about others may throw you in trouble; after all we are the most intelligent creatures on earth and therefore a sense of rational thinking and humane actions are always expected from us for a healthy society...

Cremation and Its Adverse Scenario in The Current Pandemic

Worldwide spread of COVID-19 in a quite short time has brought a tremendous devastating impact to the environment and sentiments of people. The corpses drifting down the Ganges River, which Hindus consider sacred, have shocked a nation reeling under the world's worst surge in infections. One can see the dumped dead bodies of COVID-19 patient in some rivers of India. A state government made the first official acknowledgement of an alarming practice it said may form from poverty and fear of the disease in villages.

This study focuses on the bodies of those who have succumbed to Covid-19 or any other diseases are being thrown into rivers instead of being disposed off as per proper which may result in the harmful effect on the health of locals.

Marital Rape: The Irony of Concepts

Living in the year that we are living in, it is truly regrettable that we still have to debate as to whether or not a married woman has rights over her own body. While the naysayers continue to defend the sanctity and piousness of the institution of marriage, it is high time that India should now replace this self-damaging (for women) view of conjugal relationship with the one that makes the mutual consent, respect and will, the true foundation of marriage relationship in India. Women being treated as objects in most marriages is not only demeaning to her but also to all of those women who are part of this mind-set. It looks like the concept of consent and will never exists.

​

A ten year old girl was married to a thirty year old man. Since marital rape has not been a concept, the man was charged for rape. One of the most frightening cases of marital rape was Phoolmani Dasi (also known as Maharani v/s Hari Mohan Maity). Although the autopsy report clearly indicated an injured vagina as the cause of death, the husband was later acquitted of the rape charge because law of rape excluded marital rape from the purview of law. On 9th January, 1891, the Viceroy of India presented a bill before the Council of India, called the “Age of Consent”. Previously, the age of consent had been said at 10 years at 1860. After the bill was passed in 1891, the Section 376 included sex with a girl under 12 years even if the person is the wife of the perpetrator, as rape....
