Description
The Family Courts Act, 1984, established specialized Family Courts in India to promote conciliation and ensure speedy settlement of marriage and family disputes, moving them from traditional courts to a more sympathetic environment. It mandates courts in cities with over a million people, focusing on mediation, safeguarding children, and handling matrimonial relief, custody, maintenance, and property issues, aiming for informal resolutions to preserve family ties.
Key Objectives & Provisions:
- Promote Conciliation: The primary goal is to encourage settlement and reconciliation between parties through mediation, often with social welfare agencies and counselors.
- Speedy Justice: Aims for quick resolution of family disputes, which often involve sensitive emotional and social aspects.
- Specialized Jurisdiction: Family Courts have exclusive jurisdiction over matters like divorce, judicial separation, child custody, guardianship, maintenance, and legitimacy.
- Establishment: State governments must set up Family Courts in every city with over a million people and can establish them elsewhere as needed, in consultation with the High Court.
- Informal Procedure: The Act allows for less rigid procedures and a more informal atmosphere during the conciliation stage to encourage open communication.
- Overriding Effect: Its provisions generally have precedence over other laws in family matters.
