Synopsis The resource book on Rights in Intimate Relationships serves to de-centre legal marriage as the only normative practice in India, and by doing so shows the extent to which our rights advocacy and community interventions are partisan, partial and exclusivist. The presentation seeks to re-invigorate debates on norms underpinning the law and feminist advocacy, to explore transformatory frameworks of rights that seek to secure minimum rights and protections in diverse family forms, regardless of marital status, sexuality, caste or economic deprivation.
