Owing to the matter that I have been subpoenaed to appear in court to testify in a family court case. The case involves a family from a community that you have worked with extensively through your organization. The family in question is the Malik family. The family has a 15-year-old daughter called Nisha. Nisha’s parents arranged for the daughter to be married to a 42-year-old man living in India. The girl is underage as she is below the age of 18 years. I will first give a scope of the Indians culture then give my view on the topic in question. Arranged marriages are part of the social culture of South Asian society. This has been their tradition for ages, and it goes on to contribute to a high majority of Indian sub-continent marriages.

What type of cases you heard and how are District Court cases different from Superior Court cases?
In the first scenario, the first action that was illegally taken by the officer was approaching the suspect on the front porch. The officer could not legally approach the suspect as the front porch is considered an area of curtilage because this is an area that one feels that they have the right of privacy. The case that supports my decision is United States v. Dunn where police received a tip that Dunn’s barn contained alleged equipment to manufacture drugs. The barn was away from Dunns home which allowed for them to search the barn after not receiving a warrant. This case established four factors that determine curtilage. Those factors are the proximity of the area to the home, whether the area is in an enclosure surrounding the home, the

In Claudia Kolker’s book The Immigrant Advantage, she talks about the cultural tradition of arranged marriages brought by South Asian immigrants to the United States. Kolker agrues that arranged marriages are much more effective in finding a spouse than traditional marriages. Kolker believes that this tradition of assistive marriage should be adopted by Americans. Research and studies have shown that “women in arranged marriages rated the highest marital status” (Kolker, 71) compared to couples who have arranged marriages. Arranged marriage is great for individuals who are ready to settle down and start their own life without wasting any time finding a partner. Arranged marriage saves a great amount of time on dating people who are not compatible with your personality or beliefs. As Kolker states, assistive marriage does not just save time in finding a lifelong partner but, it also leads to exceptional happiness between the couple than a traditional marriage reported by couples during studies. Traditions brought by immigrants such as, assistive marriage should be considered by American traditions.
Charlie is a 10 year old boy who was caught stealing over one hundred dollars in items at a store. This is the juveniles first time being in juvenile court. Coming from a juvenile court judge’s perspective he will take into consideration that this is Charlies first time in court. The most vital person in the juvenile court is the juvenile court judge. The explanations of the dissimilar systems tell the exceptional role of the juvenile court judge, a part that contains many old-style functions. The more old-fashioned role of the juvenile court judge is to resolve the legal issues in cases. It is a necessity that the judge decides if the issues are true, if a juvenile should be removed from a legal guardian, consider different types of services that could be obtainable to the household, if the child should be returned to the household, or be relocated enduringly to another location. The manner and
Arranged Marriages have been around since time can remember. An arranged marriage is a marital union between a man and a woman who were selected to be wedded together by a third party. Historically, arrange marriages were the main way to marry. In certain parts of the world, it is still the primary approach. There are two types of arrange marriages. The first is a traditional marriage where the children can, with strong objections, refuse to marry their soon to be spouse. In a forced marriage, the children have no say in the matter. Bread Givers shows an excellent representation of the pressures on children from their parents to be married against their will.

When it comes to a lawsuit which can include civil lawsuits, there is more than one party that is being sued. When a person files for a civil lawsuit the police department, policy makers, and at times the police officer is being sued for any unlawful actions that were against that person or person’s property. This can cause a problem for the department and all parties that are involved with the training of the police officer. As a police officer, you can be sued when in uniform or when you are in civilian clothes depending on the words that the person says. This will be discussed further into the paper. What can be concluded from the lawsuit is, was the police officer properly trained?
What makes this country so great? Most people disagree on the answer to that question. Some say it’s the freedom of speech that we have. Others will say that it’s our ability to vote and elect who we want to lead us. This is all well and good, but what really sets our country apart from many others is our right to a speedy and public trial of our peers. Some governments in other parts of the world reserve the right to take any citizen right off of the street and place him or her in jail with no other reason than a faulty witness who, more often times than not, is being pressured to bear false judgment against them. In our court system, there are many components that are in place to insure our citizens have a fair

From the perspective of a Utilitarian, one would argue that arranged marriage is both ethical and unethical. A utilitarian decides whether an action is good or bad based on the results that bring the greatest good to the greatest number of people affected by the action. The so called good can be defined as “happiness.” In India, places where arranged marriage are very common because it is part of their culture. Therefore in a Utilitarian eyes it would be ethical to get married if it were part of your culture and geographical location because betraying your culture would do more harm and some forms of happiness are superior to others. Many couples find themselves to be part of happy marriages like we saw in the article What It’s Really Like To Have An Arranged Marriage. Sandaya, the bride, who lived in India had an arranged marriage set by her parents. She felt honored to have done this for her family and knew it was a
In the same way as arranged marriages are an established and expected part of Islamic culture, arranged marriages are very common also in India, where Hinduism is the leading religion. Most marriages here are arranged, but importantly with” the consent of the bride and the bridegroom and the blessings of the elders” (http://www.hinduwebsite.com/hinduism/h_marriage.asp). Also here the question of consent is very important to provide a distinction between arranged and forced marriage. This focus on consent has been a modern development of this ancient tradition. In the past, consent from the spouses was not necessary for them to be married (http://www.culturalindia.net/weddings/arranged-marriage.html HHHHHjjlafdkdk.)
Arranged Marriages have a rich history. It has been found that ancient societies in the West helped shape this type of marriage. It has also been discovered that early societies have started as early as 1500 AD and during Victorian Europe. Back in the Chinese culture, arranged marriages started with the initial relationship between families. Even though the two people planning on marrying get to pick their own spouse, it must slide with the two families. Before the wedding happens, the two families must meet on a official traditional dinner or supper, and ask each other man questions. One example is when the bride’s family meets the groom’s family, they have to make sure the groom is coming from wealth and good status. If the bride’s family feel as if the groom is not a good match then simply the wedding will not take place. On the other
Marriage is considered to be an institution in which people commit to spend a lifetime together. People across the world can seek love through arranged marriages or through love marriages but the concept of spending a lifetime with your companion remains the same in each.
