Dr. Paras Diwan remains the most cited name in Indian family law scholarship, and this Family Law volume — updated by Peeyushi Diwan — is the single-book answer to the LLB family law syllabus. It spans the personal laws as they are actually examined: Hindu law (marriage, divorce, maintenance, adoption, guardianship, joint family and partition), Muslim law (nikah, mahr, talaq, inheritance), and the Special Marriage Act, with Christian and Parsi law essentials.
The 2026 reprint carries the modern case law that examiners expect — from Shayara Bano on triple talaq to Vineeta Sharma on daughters’ coparcenary rights — woven into Diwan’s famously readable narrative style.
A standard text for Family Law I and II papers and judicial services mains. Allahabad Law Agency — authentic editions carry the holographic seal.
