Directions (34- 40): Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow:
These days, it is common to see every other marriage breaking apart in Indian society, just a few
years after the grand wedding day. I am not pained by the fact that the marriages are breaking up.
It is better that a marriage be dissolved, if two incompatible people have to suffer each other
throughout their life time or if there is some kind of abuse involved.
But what sadden me are those cases, where married life is ruined by the interference from the
man's parents. This happens typically in a joint family system, where the son and his wife are
expected to stay with the parents. The urge to stay with the married son, stems from a strong
possessive feeling on the part of the mother. Slowly, the tentacles of possessiveness start
spreading around in every aspect of the adult son's life, throttling the daughter-in-law. The girl
starts gasping for breath and is forced to look at her choices. If nothing works out, she finally
opts for peace of mind — by walking out of the marriage.
Why is it that the mothers of adult sons find it difficult to let go of the attachment, which blinds
their eyes and makes them do despicable things? If she wants to ensure that no emotional
intimacy develops between the son and his wife, why get the son married in the first place? Why
does she fail to think of the bride as a young, sensitive person full of her own dreams and ideas
about her married life? Why is it that the in-laws cannot trust their son to remember his duties

CP/16/C02
towards them, even if he got married? Is it the lack of faith in their own upbringing that makes
them insecure?
I am not even talking about the infirm elders, who have to stay with children. I am talking about
financially well-off people, who are healthy in mind and body and quite capable of staying by
themselves. What is the need to micromanage the son and his wife's lives, staying closely?
Shifting our attention to the daughter-in-law, the bride is no longer the really young bride of 14
years, who steps into a new house and absorbs the traditions of that house. Circumstances have
changed now and mostly the girl first steps out of her house to live in a hostel for a college
education. Then follow higher education and job. By the time the urban woman is ready for
marriage, she is well into her mid-twenties, established her career, knowledgeable about the
outside world and financially quite independent. So what does such a woman look for in a
marriage? She looks for love, companionship, respect and understanding from her spouse.
If every day is a struggle, wherein the husband's behaviour is dictated by the parents-in-law, if
her life is not panning out as she dreamed and if every aspect of her adult life is constantly
monitored and supervised by other people, what happiness does she get? What is wrong if she
wants to move out with her husband so that she gets the much needed personal space? Why is
she called a family breaker when she has every right to a happy life and the choice to live the life
she wants? How can a woman who is so smart and independent in her professional life manage
the contradictions in her personal life?
What about the son who is the common binding factor for both the parties involved? The typical
reactions are usually one of these — a) the son is emotionally torn between his wife and mother
and incapable of arriving at a decision; b) he is so completely brainwashed by his parents, that he
starts believing that his wife is really evil, for wanting to go away and spend her life with him
and not with his parents; c) the son breaks off with his parents on a really bad note and goes out
with his wife.
Would it not be easier for everyone, if the son's parents gracefully allowed the son and his wife
to move out, if that is what they desired? The breathing space certainly ensures a healthy and
happy relation among all the people involved, for a lifetime.

SECTION-IV: LEGAL APTITUDE

Principle for question 111, 112 and 113: When a person consents to infliction of harm upon
himself then he has no remedy in tort. A person cannot exercise a right which he has voluntarily
waved. But it has also to be shown that the consent obtained was given with free consent and not
as a result of fraud. There has to be knowledge and of the risk and the person, knowing the harm,
should agree to suffer it. Like in a master servant relationship it is likely that consent is forced.
Merely because a person knows about harm doesn't mean that he assents to suffer it. The
doctrine is applicable on the presumption that there is no negligence on part of other party.
