By every turn of the year, there is a fresh bout of judicial opinions. It is difficult to assure the reader that there are no repetitions, but it is possible to say that no two opinions are congruent. It is the human ingenuity to officer multiple recipes for the same set of problems that make possible successive editions for the same title. The Indian Succession 1925 is a vintage legislation of the British era and very few things have changed in the text of law. Since the last edition in 2012, there was a major shift in understanding privacy as an important facet of fundamental right and it has opened vistas for change in perspectives of certain aspects of domestic relations. Live in relationship as legitimate bondage between man and women was a legislative precursor having come through Protection of Women against Domestic Violence, 2005, but if a child's status is legally vulnerable.
