About the Event:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seventy-five years of Independence has witnessed changes in women\u2019s roles and has opened up various opportunities for their growth and advancement in independent India. However, the social hierarchies faced by women are always hindering their well-being and growth. Surrogacy is one such issue where there is no clarity with regard to the rights and liabilities of the parties involved. Moreover, a proper regulatory mechanism does not exist.<\/p>\n

The Indian Contract Act, 1872 is considered the basic law relating to contracts in India. As we are nearing our 75 years of Independence, it is high time we analyse the nexus between the Indian Contract Act, 1872 and the surrogacy contracts from a feminist perspective.<\/p>\n

This national essay writing competition is organized by the students of the Batch of 2025, who are currently pursuing \u2018Law of Contracts \u2013 II’, as part of the Suthanthira Thirunaal Amudha Peruvizha (STAP) initiatives to commemorate 75 years of Independence.<\/p>\n

It is an embodiment of India\u2019s socio-cultural, political and economic identity. STAP is specially dedicated to the people of Tamil Nadu and the people of India, in general.
