  • The Hindu Marriage Act, 1955: Governs marriage and divorce among Hindus.
  • The Special Marriage Act, 1954: Provides for civil marriages across religions.
  • The Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) Application Act, 1937: Regulates marriage, inheritance, and family matters for Muslims.
  • The Indian Christian Marriage Act, 1872: Governs marriages among Christians.
  • The Guardians and Wards Act, 1890: Addresses child custody and guardianship.
