👰‍♀️Say NO to Child Marriages in America! Implement Standardized Marriage Age Laws

AN OPEN LETTER to THE PRESIDENT & U.S. CONGRESS; STATE GOVERNORS & LEGISLATURES

2 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

I am writing to express my deep concerns regarding the discrepancies and alarming loopholes in marriage age laws across the states and to advocate for action towards implementing a standardized marriage age of 18 nationwide, with strict provisions that prohibit underage marriage below 16 and set an age of consent not below 16. Additionally, I recommend setting a consent age gap provision that is no more permissive than at least 14 years old and up to five years older, further ensuring the safety and well-being of our youth.

It is alarming to note that four states—California, Mississippi, New Mexico, and Oklahoma—currently have no official minimum age for marriage but require parental consent or court approval. This inconsistency in laws creates dangerous loopholes that could be exploited by individuals seeking to harm or exploit minors. Allowing underage marriage below the age of 16 poses serious risks, including increased vulnerability to exploitation and abuse.

I urge you to take immediate steps towards implementing a consistent and protective legal framework by advocating for standardized marriage age laws across the nation.

Thank you for considering this urgent matter. I strongly believe that uniform marriage age laws are essential to safeguarding the rights and safety of young individuals and preventing potential harm.

Together, we can say NO to child marriage and child exploitation!

Digital Contracts and E-Signatures - Legal Validity and Enforcement under Indian Contract Law

Digital Contracts Under Indian Law

Digital contracts hold the same legal status as traditional paper-based agreements in India, provided they meet the essential elements of a valid contract. These essentials include a lawful offer and acceptance, lawful consideration, the capacity of parties to contract, free and genuine consent, a lawful object and the agreement not being expressly declared void. Indian law does not mandate that a contract must be in written or physical form unless required by specific statutes. This means that agreements formed through electronic means such as emails, digital platforms or mobile applications are legally valid and enforceable, as long as they satisfy the foundational requirements of a contract.

This legal recognition facilitates seamless and efficient contracting in the digital age, without compromising on legal certainty. While the Information Technology Act recognizes contracts formed through electronic means, the absence of a digital signature places the burden of proof on the party asserting the contract’s validity to prove its authenticity and enforceability.

Electronic Signatures (E-Signatures)

In India, the provisions of the IT Act and the Indian Contract Act 1872 govern digital contracts, additionally the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 has modernized the evidentiary framework to effectively accommodate the realities of the digital age, including the growing use of digital contracts. Under Sections 61 and 63 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, digital contracts executed and stored electronically are legally recognized as admissible evidence, provided certain conditions are met. The law treats such electronic records as valid documentary evidence, even in the absence of a physical original, as long as the integrity and authenticity of the record can be established.

It’s not just that the Labour government should repeal the draconian anti-protest laws because this would create a fairer society today. It’s also because, in failing to do so, it primes the country for authoritarianism. Labour has helped normalise a far-right legal framework.

Corporate Social Responsibility Under Indian Law: An Overview of the Legal Framework and Compliance Landscape

Evolution of CSR in India

The philosophical underpinnings of CSR in India can be traced back to the concept of “lok-kalyan”, which emphasizes the duty of capable individuals to work for the collective upliftment of society. This principle has been a part of Indian ethos for centuries, reflecting a deep-rooted tradition of social responsibility. Hence, the judicial recognition of the broader principle of public welfare in various contexts laid the groundwork for the later development of CSR as a legal mandate.

The concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) was formally introduced in India by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) through the Voluntary Guidelines on CSR, 2009. These guidelines marked the government’s initial effort to promote socially responsible business practices, encouraging companies to develop structured CSR policies, integrate them into their strategic planning, and establish a defined roadmap for implementing impactful CSR initiatives.

CSR Funds: Utilization, Management, and Reporting

Utilization of CSR Funds: According to Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, CSR funds must be utilized strictly for activities specified under the company’s CSR policy and aligned with the areas outlined in Schedule VII of the Act. The funds should be used for charitable, social, or environmental causes that contribute to the sustainable development of society. The CSR activities mainly include:

Eradication of hunger, poverty, and malnutrition

Promotion of education, healthcare, and sanitation

Gender equality and women empowerment

Environmental sustainability

Supporting national heritage, art, and culture

Rural development projects
