How to become an Advocate in India?

India has a humongous judicial system which consists of more than 20 lakh of lawyers. In India when a freshly graduated law student aspires to be an advocate he or she has to go through a tedious process with the Bar Council of India.

Phillip Carret once cautiously remarked - “I had a margin call in 1924, and I swore I would never buy on margin again.” But you must know there is much more in it than that.

Why is Marital Rape still not a crime in India?

In India, the concept of prenups have resurfaced time-and-again and gained popularity, such as, when Maneka Gandhi recommended the Minister of Law and Justice for the establishment of prenups as mandatory before the act of marriage.
