The Compendium is prepared especially for L.L.B. Students of Mumbai University but it can be useful to Law Students of other Universities also. The Junior Advocates, Senior Advocates and the Hon'ble Judges too will find the Compendium very useful when dealing with family matters as it states the Law as it stands today. Topic-wise treatment is adapted to suit the needs of students and junior advocates for explaining them the concept, origin and development of law but Section-wise index is given for locating the section-wise discussion. The updated case laws unfold the exact law prevailing at present. The compendium is expected to guide Husbands and Wives, not only in the time of distress but also serving the disaster in the family life. As such, this Compendium needs to be in every family.
