The Intimate State: Love-Marriage and the Law in Delhi - Critical Asian Studies
Mody, Perveez (King’s College, Cambridge, UK)
This book provides an ethnography of love-marriages in the late 1990s in Delhi, identifying the ways in which marriage is ever more a pitch of intense political contestation. It bears upon anthropological understandings of marriageability, urban morality, gender, kinship and the study of the individual and the couple in contemporary India.
