LEPROSY AS A GROUND OF DIVORCE

Author(s) AJAY YADAV
Country India
Abstract This paper examines the legal and social challenges faced by individuals affected by leprosy in India, despite advancements in medical treatment and recent amendments in law. Historically, leprosy was grounds for discrimination in marriage, employment, and public life, with outdated legal provisions adding to societal stigma. The Personal Laws (Amendment) Act, 2019 marked a turning point by removing leprosy as grounds for divorce, reflecting a more informed and humane approach to the condition. However, challenges remain, including persistent social stigma, barriers to employment, and limited access to rehabilitation services.

To address these issues, this paper proposes a range of solutions, including stricter enforcement of anti-discrimination laws, comprehensive rehabilitation programs, public awareness campaigns, and improved healthcare access in underserved areas. By adopting these measures, India can further dismantle the stigma around leprosy, promote social reintegration, and support the rights and dignity of leprosy-affected individuals, fostering a more inclusive and equitable society.
