Learning of Family Law provides an in-depth study and knowledge of different
personal laws based on social and religious customs. It deals with the codified and un-
codified personal laws in India. Our objective while learning Family Law is to study
the different personal laws in India and their evolution in response to the shifting
panorama of strategies that people employ to live together. The Law relating to family
matters is immensely important for every individual. It is Family Law that regulates
interpersonal relationships whenever a dispute of legal nature arises. The present course
i.e., Family Law I involves a critical and comparative study of different personal laws
governing law on Marriage, Divorce and Maintenance. Courts and the legislatures have
always been able to fit traditional family law principle into realities of the modern life.

2. LEARNING OBJECTIVES (Knowledge, Skills and Outcomes)

The course aims at providing an understanding of different personal laws that touches
upon lives of people in their personal & private sphere. It gives an in-depth understanding
of Family law of different communities and to know the law of each one of them. Course
aims at knowing, understanding and analyzing recent changes in this branch by
appreciating dynamic nature of this branch of law. Course structure enables student to
analyze and to give a critical approach.

A. Knowledge
The overall objective of this course is to enable the learner to:
(i) Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of Laws which regulate the family
relation which often conflict with each other and
(ii) Demonstrate a comprehensive and accurate knowledge and understanding of the
details of legal concepts and doctrines in the family laws developed through
different judicial decisions.
 B. Skills
The overall objective of this undergraduate course is to inculcate the learner with the
following set of skills: general cognitive intellectual skills; general
communicative/employability skills; and subject specific skills.
Cognitive:
Family Law will demand that students have the capacity to demonstrate insight in
presenting materials drawn from a wide and sometimes contradictory range of primary
and secondary sources and doctrinal commentary; and to demonstrate an ability to
produce a synthesis of those materials that offers a personal and informed criticism.
Employability:
Family Law will demand that students have the capacity to be able to write and use orally
fluent and complex prose; using legal terminology with scrupulous care and accuracy.
Subject Specific:
Family Law will demand an ability to identify and select key relevant theories and to
apply that knowledge with clarity to difficult situation of significant legal complexity; to
analyses problem and to produce well-supported conclusions in relation to them.

C. Outcomes:
Two key skills will be highlighted by this course (a) case synthesis/problem solving and
(b) independent research. These skills will be central to the learners‟ success in
completing this course‟s scheme of assessment.
Case Synthesis/Problem solving:
In preparing for tutorials, the learner would be asked to read, analyze and synthesize a
number of cases. The learner would also be asked to use that knowledge to support
his/her answer to a number of hypothetical, factual or problem scenarios. In preparing
properly for tutorials, the learner will be preparing properly for the end of term
assessment.
Independent research work:
In preparing for the course work assignment, particular emphasis will be placed on
independent learning i.e., the ability to take initiative in the design (individualized
approach or plan of action) and research (external legal and non-legal sources) of the
stated project.
 The course work in question is deliberately broadly drawn, and is designed to challenge
the learner in this regard.

Final Outcome
Assessment is by compulsory coursework examination (40% Internal + 60% External=
100%) under the auspices of the Symbiosis International (Deemed University), Pune.
