This study explains about the policy of the Indian governmentin addressing the problem of �dowry deaths� in India. Dowrydeaths itself is a term for a murder or violence against wives inwhich performed by the husband or the husband's familybecause of the inability of the wife to meet the demand of payingthe dowry. The impact of the tradition of giving dowry is not onlythe death of the wives, but also the impact on the discriminationover the women and selective abortion of female fetuses. Thenumber of victims of dowry death reached more than 8000deaths per year.The phenomenon of dowry deaths required the Indiangovernment to intervene to resolve the issue. Indian governmenthave managed to make some policies, it covers the application ofthe rules of prohibiting dowry in the marriage that began with theDowry Prohibition Act of 1961, that punish the offender of dowrydeath with the threat of no less than seven years in prison; andalso, some policies to provide financial incentives to daughter, toprohibit the sex-selective abortion to female fetuses. In addition,the Indian central government's policy is also supported by theinitiative of the state government to initiate several relatedpolicies such as banning ultrasound technology, forbiddingabortion, as well as providing incentives to girls, and variousother policies. Although the government has been implementingvarious policies, but the weakness of law enforcement caused bythe strong patriarchal culture in society is one reason why thesepolicies are less effective in preventing loss of life because of'dowry deaths'.

The Impact

Lawyers bring public interest litigation cases (“PIL”) to the Indian Supreme Court seeking many different types of remedies, including to prevent the construction of power plants that may damage the environment or to prevent violations of rights of a group of people. The Indian Supreme Court (the “Supreme Court” or “Court”) sometimes responds by creating guidelines like what the executive branch might do. But in many PIL cases, litigants are not asking for the creating of new rules, but instead they are simply asking the Supreme Court to encourage the government to amend, implement, and enforce laws that already exist.

The Impact

The development of human life nowadays cannot be separated from various aspects such as economy, politics, and technology, including the impact of the coronavirus outbreak (Covid-19 or SARS-CoV-2) which emerged at the end of 2019. Responding to this Covid-19 pandemic outbreak In Indonesia, the government has issued various policies as measures to prevent and handle the spread of Covid-19. One of these policies is to limit community activities. These restrictions have implications for the fulfilment of the economic needs of the affected communities. Responding to the urgency of this community's economic situation, the government held a social assistance program as a measure to ease the community's economic burden. However, the procurement of the program was used as a chance for corruption involving the Ministry of Social Affairs and corporations as the winning bidders. This study uses a qualitative methodology with a normative juridical approach and literature. The approach is carried out by conducting a juridical analysis based on a case approach. The results of the study show that the corporations involved cannot be separated from corporate responsibility. However, the criminal liability process against the corporation is deemed not to reflect justice for the current situation of Indonesia is experiencing. The crime was not carried out in a normal situation but in a situation when Indonesia was trying hard to overcome the urgent situation, the Covid-19 pandemic. Corporate crimes committed by taking advantage of the pandemic situation are deemed necessary to prioritize special action or the weight of criminal acts committed by corporations. The weighting of criminal sanction is the right step as a law enforcement process for corporate crimes during the pandemic.

AbstractA combination of factors has led to an increasing imbalance in the sex ratio of China's population. China's sex ratio at birth is 119 boys per 100 girls, far above the global norm of 106. This paper will focus on the abnormal sex ratio as a consequence of traditional Chinese gender attitudes holding women inferior and subordinate to men, which have been brought to the fore by a combination of fertility decline and technological advancement. Accordingly, any solution to the demographic problem must address these prevalent, entrenched mind-sets. The government appears to realise that existing laws prohibiting sex-selective abortion and infanticide will fail to correct the sex ratio. This paper examines the trend in government responses towards efforts to address traditional gender attitudes and argues that the demographic crisis may have turned the Chinese government into an unlikely champion of gender equality.

So the government states that this GST is ―one India one Tax‖.This paper focuses on the concept, the benefits which the country will accrue from GST, the impact of GST on manufacturing, entertainment and Service Sectors.

Narcotics transaction or narcotics distribution, especially in correctional institutions has been very widespread; this is the impact of the loss of control of the existing system. This condition has an impact on the formation of a negative view of the community on the implementation of law enforcement, especially in the prison environment. So the problem under study is how to regulate sanctions related to narcotics transactions that occur within prison and how enforcement against inmates conducting drug transactions in prison law. By using the empirical normative legal research method (mix method) whit primary data sourced from Class II Penitentiary Kerobokan. The results of the study showed  that  the  regulation  of  sanctions  for  prisoners  who  carry  out  narcotics transactions in prisons, namely the threat of  capital punishment, life imprisonment, maximum imprisonment of 20 years and a minimum of 5 years. Whereas law enforcement in correctional institutions, namely severe disciplinary penalties, entered into a register, handed down register F, all prisoners’ rights will be lost, and passed on to the competent authority. The government in this case is the Ministry of Law and Human Rights should always collaborate with the National Narcotics Agency by visiting prisons regularly or allegedly as a place for narcotics transactions or distribution. Then with regard to legislation products that are already in force it should be noted again.

Status Of Women

<p>In our society there is a deep rooted prejudice against women and they are considered as inferior beings. Women are, in general, discriminated against in every field like education, employment, property rights etc. They have to face this kind of discrimination from the time of their birth. The cultural construct of Indian society which reinforces gender bias against men and women, with varying degrees and variable contexts against the opposite sex, has led to the continuation of India’s strong preference for male children. Female infanticide, a sex-selective abortion, is adopted and strongly reflects the low status of Indian women. Education is not widely attained by Indian women. Discrimination against women has led to their lack of autonomy and authority.</p><p>So, the question before us is whether these legislations are sufficient to improve the status of women in our society. Or is it only the duty of the government to work towards the emancipation of women.</p>
