| Summary: | T. 1: 30 (December 23, 1995) 51. - S. 3287-3310 : Lit.Hinw. S. 3306-3310.; T. 2: 30 (December 30, 1995) 52. - S. 3381-3389 : Lit.Hinw. S. 3388-3389 There is an ongoing debate in India whether religion-based personal laws should be maintained or a uniform civil code be instituted. The author argues that prevailing notions of community are bureaucratic, static and reductive. She is against the perception of religion or religio-legal systems as the sole determinant of patriarchies. The author examines different religious communities and multiple patriarchies in India.
