SOCIETY

10 marks

"The rise in post-marital and pre-marital crimes reflects deeper shifts in social values rather than merely individual criminality." Examine this statement in the context of changing family and social relationships in India.

Tips for your answer

  • ✅ 1. Treat this as a society question, not merely a law-and-order issue. Focus on changing social values, patriarchy, urbanisation and family transformation.
  • ✅ 2. Remember examples such as honour killings, dowry deaths, cyberstalking, revenge pornography and intimate partner violence for value addition.
  • ✅ 3. Avoid blaming either tradition or modernity alone. Show that both structural inequalities and rapid social change together contribute to these crimes.
