One does not consider what impact it will cause to parents/sisters/other brothers. How much wud they go through mentally? Indian culture still believes in joint family. People can not live in such environment. Once this law is scrapped, they wud demand a new law to be made, that family HAS to accept them and any opposition to this wud be punishable. etc etc.
Hasn't the joint family been under attack for some time now ?
The idea that the whole family along with spouses lives under one roof.
Worked great if all work in the family business but if not, usually divisions occur ?
Also isn't land an issue nowadays ?
In the good old days you could fit as many under one roof but how do you do that now. Land area stays constant and costs a lot whereas there is no limit to the rate a family can muliply.
Maybe someone else more knowledgeable about the workings of the joint family could comment
I don't have an answer wrt to punishment for non-acceptance. I assume here you are using the precedents set by caste ie punishable to discriminate. And i cannot prove a negative ie state it WONT happen. But in the west it cant be used to discriminate for jobs. Course discrimination there is very subtle so its usually nearly impossible to prove unless blatant. If you recall Obama's opening speech, he did include them amongst the various communities. Inshort its a battle for another day.
But i can say this, that it should not be used to prevent the removal of 377.
Inshort wont stay with THEM (the two). He has equal rights in house but I have RIGHT too, to decide with whom shud I be staying.
Consider the hypothetical case where a straight member marries someone against the wishes of family. What happens in this case ?
Presumably your objections would be similar. If so how would it be resolved then ?
You have raised good points that require answers. You have explained why you think this will cause the death of the Indian joint family which is what the topic title is about
