Abstract
Family and social law forms an important area of law which regulates the affairs of families but also promotes social justice and protects individual rights. The field encompasses legal issues of marriage, divorce, child custody, adoption, inheritance, domestic violence, labor rights, social security and protection from discrimination. The main goal of family and social law is to uphold equality, protect vulnerable communities and maintain social cohesion through law. With societal changes, there have been changes in family and social laws and their implementation in the context of greater rights for women, children, elderly people and disadvantaged communities. Even though there have been great strides made in the area of law, some challenges, like lack of awareness, unequal access to justice and legal delays persist. This article analyzes family and social law in terms of its scope and importance along with recent trends in the area of law.
