After Atul Subhash's case, prenuptial agreements are in the spotlight. Some believe they should be legalized in India, while others feel marriage is a sacred union, not a contract.

Prenuptial agreements define obligations and rights pre-marriage, covering assets, child custody, alimony, and property division upon divorce.India lacks specific laws on these agreements, leaving them under the Indian Contract Act, valid unless conflicting with public policy.

Courts must consider religious personal laws, given India's diversity. Rising divorces make prenups relevant, but gender-neutral laws may eliminate their need, preserving marriage as a sacrosanct bond.-- Abhishek Malviya, Ujjain

Kohli's Disgrace

Virat Kohli attracted controversy during the Boxing Day Test at MCG, bumping into 19-year-old Konstas in frustration. Booed by the crowd, Kohli lost 20% of his match fee and earned a demerit point. 

Konstas impressed on debut, but Kohli's behaviour was unworthy of a senior player, tarnishing India's cricketing spirit.-- C.K. Ramani, Chennai

Economic Evolution

Digitalization reshapes economies with efficiency and innovation. Tech firms, leveraging asymmetries and platform control, threaten competition and social equity. A single GST rate could simplify taxation, balancing revenue needs and economic fairness. Careful regulation of tech dominance is imperative for equitable growth.-- C.K. Subramaniam, Navi Mumbai

Aussie Domination

Australia’s coordinated effort secured a formidable lead in the fourth Test. Five batsmen scored 50+, while Smith hit a century. India’s Jaiswal resisted with 82 but fell short. Rain looms as a potential game-changer.- PVP Madhu Nivriti, Secunderabad

Cultural Stain

A Zomato agent in Indore was forced to remove a Santa Claus outfit, revealing rising intolerance. Such acts harm India’s diversity and demand government intervention to protect workers' dignity and unity.-- Jakir Hussain, Kanpur

Reflective Gratitude

As we embrace 2025, let’s cherish lessons from 2024, balancing aspirations with acceptance. Respect for life’s journey fosters growth, maturity, and contentment, shaping a brighter tomorrow.-- Kirti Wadhawan, Kanpur

Loss Mourned

Dr. Manmohan Singh's passing is a monumental loss. Architect of India’s 1991 economic reforms, he ended nuclear apartheid and spearheaded GDP growth. Known for simplicity and wisdom, he symbolized an era of transformation.-- Sravana Ramachandran, Chennai

Singh’s Legacy

Dr. Manmohan Singh, architect of India’s economic reforms and initiator of transformative policies like RTI, RTE, and MNREGA, leaves a lasting impact. A man of humility, he deserves Bharat Ratna recognition for his contributions.- Gregory Fernandes, Mumbai
