“Marriage a site of inequality, used to subjugate women":
Supreme Court judge Justice Surya Kant.
During a seminar on “Cross-Cultural Perspectives Emerging Trends and Challenges in Family Law in England and India,” Justice Surya Kant called it an “uncomfortable truth” that marriage has historically been misused to subjugate women across cultures and eras. He noted that this pattern of inequality within marriage persists globally, though modern legal and social reforms are gradually reshaping the institution into one centered on equality, dignity, and mutual respect.Evolution of Marriage in India Justice Kant explained that in earlier Indian society, marriage was not seen as a civil contract but rather a sacred and enduring sacrament. Before colonial times, family matters were governed by moral and social norms, rather than formalized legal codes. Post-Independence legal reforms, he emphasized, have strengthened women’s rights within marriage, aligning laws more closely with constitutional values of equality and justice.Legal Protections for Women Justice Kant highlighted ongoing efforts by both the judiciary and legislature to ensure the legal protection of women’s rights, including the right to maintenance, inheritance, and protection from discriminatory practices.Cross-Border Matrimonial Disputes Addressing the modern challenges of globalization, Justice Kant observed that cross-border marriage disputes pose unique legal complexities. The Supreme Court has issued detailed guidelines regarding recognition of foreign divorce and marriage-related judgments. However, Indian courts will not recognize such judgments if they are obtained through fraud or violate natural justice or substantive domestic laws.He further noted that when disputes involve children, courts must prioritize the child’s welfare while maintaining the principle of comity of courts, which ensures mutual respect and cooperation between different jurisdictions.In summary, Justice Surya Kant’s remarks presented marriage as an evolving institution—shifting from being a source of gender-based subjugation toward becoming a partnership built on respect, equality, and constitutional justice ?.

We Kashmiri Pandits need to Safeguard our Future.

My humble appeal.

Give a serious thought.

The Kashmiri Pandit community, with a history spanning thousands of years, is renowned for its intelligence, wisdom, humility, education, peace, and the philosophy of "live and let live." Our ancestors built a rich legacy of culture, tradition, and spirituality, sustaining joint families where every household nurtured multiple children despite limited resources.

However, the exodus of 1990 changed everything. Forced displacement broke down the joint family system, scattered our people across the globe, and pushed us into a new way of living. In this new reality, most Kashmiri Pandit families began preferring a single-child norm, citing economic, social, and lifestyle challenges.

Today, this has created a demographic crisis:

Our population, already only a few lakh, is shrinking rapidly.

Birth rates are far lower than death rates.

Many of our youth marry outside the community.

A growing number of men and women remain unmarried due to incompatibility or rejection within the community.

Divorce cases are also rising, caused by impatience and lack of understanding.

Promote patience mutual respect and understanding in relationships and reduce divorces.

This shrinking demographic base is not merely about numbers. It threatens our culture, language, traditions, and identity. We are already scattered and rarely come together except for marriages or mourning rituals. If this trend continues for the next 20 years, our community may exist only in history books.

A Call to Action

A. Two-Child Norm for Survival

Every KP family should consciously plan to have at least two children.

This is not just a personal choice but a collective responsibility to ensure our survival as a community.

B. Encouraging Early & Within-Community Marriages

Parents and community organizations should promote timely marriages and strengthen community bonds.

Matrimonial platforms and community gatherings must be made more active and accessible.

C.Strenghting cultural Roots

Despite being scattered,we must encourage regular community events,youth gatherings,cultural festivals and language promotion.

This keeps the younger generation emotionally connected to their heritage.

D.Support for unmarried and economically weak member's.

Community funds and organisations should step forward to help those struggling with marriage or financial stability.

No one should be left behind due to lack of means or opportunities.

The kashmiri pandit community has survived centuries of adversity , invasions and didplement .But Today,the threat is not external,it is our own declining numbers and weakening bonds
If we want our tradition, wisdom and Identity to live on, every family must take it as a moral and cultural duty to ensure continuity through children, timely marriages and cultural preservation.

Otherwise,the day is not far when our presence will only be found in archives and history,not in living reality.
