Inheritance for Ownership
Land presents an interesting site for examining inheritance, given its complex intertwining with kinship and its contested relationship with gender. In Indian society, land has been a resource owned in common, belonging jointly to family and kinship networks. Drawing on this imagination, customary institutions and legal regulations either permit or deny women's right to access, increasingly influencing their livelihoods in a capitalist economy. R…
Sacred Conversations
This article explores the meanings of ritualistic practices in the contexts of societal orders and conflict resolution in the Kumaon Himalayas. Drawing on empirical work, I present local narratives and experiences with esoteric practices that connect human bodies and nature, bringing them into one continual whole. I examine the meanings rituals lend to concepts of justice to elaborate on a grounded description of justice in this particular South …

Following that, in 2019, the Parliament enacted the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019, which criminalised the pronouncement of triple talaq. Triple talaq as a form of divorce continues to hold legitimacy under the uncodified religious law that Muslims in India abide by in their everyday life. What, then, is the impact …

Arising in the context of recent legal and political debates that question the legitimacy of non-state actors engaged in dispute processing, the book explores the nature, form, and functioning of such forums and actors in two locations in rural India. Focusing on a fishermen’s commu…
