Family law is a branch of law that deals with issues relating to family matters like marriage, divorce, adoption, alimony, child custody. Inheritance etc. In India marriage and divorce are governed under specific acts and laws that have been laid down for different religious groups like the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, The Special Marriage Act 1954, etc.
