Supreme Court: Marriage Means Mutual Dependence, Not Complete Independence

In a recent observation, the Supreme Court of India highlighted the essence of marriage as a relationship of mutual dependence and shared responsibility.

The court remarked, “Don’t marry if you want complete independence.” This statement underscores that marriage, by its very nature, is a bond that thrives on interdependence between partners.

The bench pointed out that while individual freedom is important, marriage requires a balance where couples support and depend on each other in various aspects of life. The observation comes amid deliberations in a marital dispute case, sparking wider discussions on the dynamics of relationships in modern society.

Legal experts suggest that the court’s view aligns with the traditional understanding of marriage as a partnership, though it also raises debates about how independence and individuality can coexist within committed relationships.

This statement has already prompted strong public reactions, with some agreeing that shared responsibilities are vital, while others argue that modern marriages must respect personal independence alongside interdependence.

As conversations continue, the court’s words serve as a reminder that marriage is not just a union of individuals, but of lives intertwined with mutual respect, care, and reliance.

Celebrating India’s Republic Day: A Journey of Democracy and Progress

allycaralgoa

January 26th is a momentous day in India’s history, marking the adoption of the Constitution of India in 1950. This day, celebrated as Republic Day, commemorates the country’s transition from a British dominion to a sovereign republic.

India’s struggle for independence from British rule was a long and arduous one. After gaining independence on August 15, 1947, the country was governed by the Government of India Act (1935). However, this act was not suitable for a newly independent nation, and a constituent assembly was formed to draft a new constitution.

The constituent assembly, led by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, worked tirelessly to create a constitution that would enshrine the fundamental rights and duties of citizens, as well as the framework for governance. After two years, 11 months, and 17 days of deliberation, the Constitution of India was finally adopted on November 26, 1949.

Republic Day marks the day when the Constitution of India came into effect, replacing the Government of India Act (1935). This day is significant because it:

  1. Marks the transition to a republic: India became a sovereign republic, with the President as the head of state.
  2. Enshrines fundamental rights and duties: The Constitution guarantees fundamental rights, such as equality, freedom, and justice, and outlines the duties of citizens.
  3. Provides a framework for governance: The Constitution establishes the structure and powers of the government, ensuring accountability and transparency.

Republic Day is celebrated with great enthusiasm and patriotism across India. The main celebrations take place in New Delhi, where the President of India hoists the national flag and addresses the nation. The event also features a grand parade, showcasing India’s military might, cultural diversity, and technological advancements.

In addition to the national celebrations, Republic Day is also observed in various states and cities across India, with flag-hoisting ceremonies, processions, and cultural events.

Republic Day is a significant national holiday in India, marking the country’s commitment to democracy, equality, and justice. As India continues to grow and develop, the principles enshrined in the Constitution remain a guiding force, inspiring citizens to work towards a brighter future.
