Why are women still at a disadvantage in Chinese divorce courts? Despite the increase of gender consciousness in Chinese society and a trove of legislation to protect women, why are Chinese women still disadvantaged in divorce courts? Xin He argues that institutional constraints to which judges are subject, a factor largely ignored by existing literature, play a crucial role. Twisting the divorce law practices are the bureaucratic incentives of courts and their political concerns for social stability. Because of these concerns, judges often choose the most efficient, and safest, way to handle issues in divorce cases. In so doing, they allow the forces of inequality in social, economic, cultural, and political areas to infiltrate their decisions. Divorce requests are delayed; domestic violence is trivialized; and women’s child custody is sacrificed. The institutional failure to enforce the laws has become a major obstacle to gender justice. Divorce in China is the only study of Chinese divorce cases based on fieldwork and interviews conducted inside Chinese courtrooms over the course of a decade. With an unusual vantage point, Xin He offers a rare and unfiltered view of the operation of Chinese courts in the authoritarian regime. Through a socio-legal perspective highlighting the richness, sophistication, and cutting-edge nature of the research, Divorce in China is as much an account of Chinese courts in action as a social ethnography of China in the midst of momentous social change.

India is one of the richest countries in the world in terms of history and heritage. Many great rulers have been born in our country in the history of the world.

The list may include some names who were not kings in the traditional sense , but who played important roles in their kingdoms. beautiful country , India , is the most populous democracy in the whole world. This vibrant democracy is run with the help of a heavy political and executive machinery. From around 600 BC the country has seen the ups and downs of various empires and many great rulers were needed to ensure proper governance of this vast land. Needless to say , India has a vibrant history filled with fascinating tales of empires and rulers. Here is a list of some such great rulers. These mighty rulers and their regimes provide a glimpse into India's turbulent but glorious past. Our great nation also came under fire from several Venab emperors , including Cyrus the Great and of course the Persian Achaemenids led by Alexander the Great. Over the years, various kingdoms emerged here , remnants of some of which still exist. And in these states, there are some states which have had a deep impact on the history and culture of India. There are many kings and kingdoms that the world has seen.

But in my opinion the list of kings in this book are the greatest kings the world has ever seen.

Women who opt not to be mothers are frequently warned that they will regret their decision later in life, yet we rarely talk about the possibility that the opposite might also be true—that women who have children might regret it. Drawing on years of research interviewing women from a variety of socioeconomic, educational, and professional backgrounds, sociologist Orna Donath treats regret as a feminist issue: as regret marks the road not taken, we need to consider whether alternative paths for women currently are blocked off. She asks that we pay attention to what is forbidden by rules governing motherhood, time, and emotion, including the cultural assumption that motherhood is a “natural” role for women—for the sake of all women, not just those who regret becoming mothers. If we are disturbed by the idea that a woman might regret becoming a mother, Donath says, our response should not be to silence and shame these women; rather, we need to ask honest and difficult questions about how society pushes women into motherhood and why those who reconsider it are still seen as a danger to the status quo. Groundbreaking, thoughtful, and provocative, this is an especially needed book in our current political climate, as women's reproductive rights continue to be at the forefront of national debates.
