520 | _aThe relation of law to population problem is of comparatively recent origin. And only recently, the population law as an entity has been conceived and is consciously being worked upon and developed by an increasing number of countries. In this connection it has been recognised, that besides serving as a mean for enforcing policy, law also reflects, refines and coordinates population policy. The implemen tation of policy on population has ultimately to depend upon legal and administrative systems including Constitution, Human rights and other Laws. Part One of this book is preliminary in content. Part Two analyses the Constitutional validity of the various fertility control laws and the affect on the fundamental freedoms guaranteed to the citizens. The Personal laws and religions of the individuals are important factors controlling the urges of physical unions and physical control. Part Three studies the personal laws relating to age of marriage, joint family, polygamy, etc. and their impact on population policy. Part Four analyses the various Social and Labour laws and their impact on population growth, child abuse, women education and status, population pressure and environment. Part Five critically studies the validity of various provisions of the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act, voluntary sterilizations with respect to Indian Penal Code, and destruction of human embryos and law of miscarriage, etc. | ||
