If not strictly governed, the implementation of the 'right to die with dignity' policy could lead to several unethical and criminal malpractices, including: 1. #Forced_Euthanasia – Vulnerable patients, especially the elderly or disabled, may be pressured into opting for euthanasia by family members or caregivers for financial or personal convenience. 2. #Medical_Negligence – Doctors or hospitals might hastily certify a patient for euthanasia without exhausting all possible treatments, either due to lack of expertise or financial burden. 3. #Organ_Trade_Exploitation – There is a risk of unscrupulous individuals using this law as a cover for illegal organ harvesting and trafficking. 4. #Insurance_Fraud – Families or institutions might exploit the provision to hasten a patient’s death to claim life insurance benefits fraudulently. 5. #Corporate_and_Institutional_Misuse – Private hospitals or insurance companies could influence decisions to cut costs by pushing patients toward euthanasia rather than prolonged expensive care. 6. #Lack_of_Informed_Consent – Patients in a vulnerable state may not fully understand their rights or may be manipulated into making irreversible decisions against their will. Strict regulations, transparency, and oversight mechanisms must be in place to prevent such malpractices. reach out if you need legal guidance... help is just a call away... ! Rtn. Adv.

Surge in #DomesticAbuse after Diwali ... As a lawyer working closely with #DomesticViolence cases, I've noticed a troubling trend: intimate partner violence incidents often surge following major festivals. While these holidays bring joy and celebration, they can also create high expectations, financial pressures, and family gatherings that sometimes exacerbate underlying tensions. Cultural norms may inadvertently create an environment where expectations of behavior and financial demands build up, leading to frustration and, tragically, to acts of violence. It’s essential to understand that domestic violence is gender-agnostic. Both men and women can be victims, and it’s our responsibility as a society to support anyone facing this trauma. Help is just a call away, and your support can make a tangible difference. Let’s break the silence around this issue and provide a voice to those affected. #DomesticViolenceAwareness #LegalAdvice #Bangalroe #India #GenderAgnosticSupport #BreakTheSilence 🔹 If you or someone you know needs help, reach out – stand up for support. Join me in advocating for a safer, more compassionate community. Together, we can help victims reclaim their lives. 🔹 Rtn. Adv. Sonia Rajesh www.lawyersonia.com

#LandmarkJudgement. The Karnataka #HighCourt has recently ruled that the mandatory waiting period for a mutual consent divorce can be waived if the parties provide valid reasons. This decision aims to reduce unnecessary delays in the dissolution of marriage where both parties mutually agree to separate. By presenting valid grounds, such as prolonged separation, irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, or any other compelling reasons, the court can expedite the divorce process, promoting a more efficient legal resolution. #divorce #lawyer #advocate #Bangalore #India Rtn.

Wishing everyone a very Happy Eid! 🌙✨ Eid is not just a time for celebration but also a time for reflection and forgiveness. In many cultures, Eid is a reminder of the importance of resolving conflicts amicably. There's a beautiful folklore hearsay story about the power of forgiveness during Eid: In a village, two neighbors had a long-standing dispute over a piece of land. Despite several attempts at reconciliation, their animosity grew, affecting their families and the entire village. One Eid, the village elder urged them to reconcile, reminding them of the spirit of forgiveness during the holy festival. Reluctantly, they agreed to meet and, after a heartfelt conversation, forgave each other. They decided to settle their dispute through mediation and reached a fair agreement, restoring peace in the village. This story illustrates how forgiveness and mediation can resolve conflicts, whether matrimonial or legal, leading to harmonious relationships and peaceful settlements. May this Eid inspire us all to forgive, reconcile, and spread love and peace. Eid Mubarak! 🕊️ Rtn. Adv. Sonia Rajesh www.lawyersonia.com

She particularly humiliated him by accusing him of impotence in front of their family members.
