ABSTRACT

The family court serves an essential function in tackling and resolving legal challenges encountered by women, especially concerning marriage, divorce, child custody, domestic violence, and property rights. By offering a dedicated judicial environment, family courts guarantee prompt and considerate resolution of conflicts while taking into account the distinct socio-legal difficulties faced by women. Additionally, these courts promote alternative dispute resolution methods, including mediation and counselling, to encourage peaceful settlements. This paper examines the importance of family courts in protecting women’s rights, the obstacles they confront, and the reforms necessary to improve their efficacy in administering justice.

Keywords – Family court, women’s legal rights, divorce, child custody, domestic violence, property rights, mediation, legal justice, gender equality, alternative dispute resolution.
