Family Law by Dr. H.H. Singh provides a comprehensive study of personal laws along with other allied legislations governing marriage, succession, guardianship, maintenance, and related aspects in India. Structured systematically, the book integrates historical evolution, statutory provisions, and judicial interpretation, making it highly relevant for students, aspirants, academicians, and practitioners.

It discusses the nature, sources, and schools of Hindu and Muslim law, tracing their ancient foundations and modern developments. Concepts of migration and domicile are also explained to establish the framework for application of personal laws.

The text also discusses the law of marriage, as well as live-in relationships. It discusses conditions of a valid marriage, ceremonies, registration, dowry, and dower, while also addressing matrimonial reliefs such as nullity, restitution of conjugal rights, judicial separation, divorce (fault, consent, and breakdown theories), and bars to matrimonial relief.

The book further explores ancillary reliefs, including maintenance, permanent alimony, custody and education of children, and property settlement. It also examines concepts of guardianship and custody, clarifying the powers, rights, and duties of natural, testamentary, and court-appointed guardians.

Detailed coverage is given to succession and inheritance, and related topics such as wills, administration of estates, and the concept of escheat are also included.

Written in a clear and practical style, the book balances traditional principles with contemporary judicial trends and legislative reforms. Its integration of statutory provisions, case law, and comparative perspectives ensures conceptual clarity and practical relevance.

By combining historical depth with modern applicability, Family Law serves as an indispensable resource for academic study, competitive examinations, and professional practice in personal and family law in India.
