Rezensionen / Stimmen
'A representative overview of the major issues and developments in Indian family law in the 1980s and 1990s...a welcome addition to the limited body of literature aviable in the West on this subject.' - Bulletin of SOAS
'Whether one agrees or not with everything that the author says, one surely cannot help being provoked to re-examine one's views on law and legal systems. Any work that has this effect is worth reading. It is a must for everyone interested in law.' - Asienforum
