Handbook of Matrimonial Laws | Along with Digest of Cases

Handbook of Matrimonial Laws by V. K. Kharbanda and Vipul Kharbanda is a compact and authoritative reference work that presents India's principal matrimonial statutes in a single volume. Conceived to balance statutory text with judicial guidance, the book brings together key personal laws governing marriage, divorce, maintenance, custody, and related family law issues. Structured into Bare Acts & Rules and a Digest of Cases, it serves as a practical handbook rather than an exhaustive commentary, making it suitable for both study and practice.

Key Features:

• Divided into two parts:
  • Part I: Bare Acts and Rules covering major matrimonial laws
  • Part II: Digest of cases interpreting matrimonial and family law provisions
• Covers a wide range of legislations including Hindu Marriage Act, Special Marriage Act, Family Courts Act, Domestic Violence Act, Dowry Prohibition Act, Muslim, Christian and other personal laws
• Digest includes case law from 2003 to 2024, summarised for quick understanding of judicial interpretation
• Topic-wise coverage of key issues such as divorce, maintenance, cruelty, custody, matrimonial reliefs, and women's rights
• Designed to bridge the gap between bare acts and bulky commentaries, offering concise yet practical legal insight
