Developments in the law, scholarship, and research since 2006 form
a substantial part of the second edition of this book which sets
the governance of personal relationships in the context of the
exercise of social and personal power. Its central argument is that
this power is counterbalanced by the presence of individual rights.
This entails an analysis of the nature and deployment of rights,
including human rights, and children's rights. Against that
background, the book examines the values of friendship, truth,
respect, and responsibility, and how the values of individualism
co-exist with those of the community in an open society. It argues
that central to these values is respecting the role of intimacy in
personal relationships. In doing this, a variety of issues are
examined, including the legal regulation of married and unmarried
relationships, same-sex marriage, state supervision over the
inception and exercise of parenthood (including surrogacy and
assisted reproductive technology), the role of fault and
responsibility in divorce law, children's rights and welfare,
religion and family rights, the rights of separated partners
regarding property and of separated parents regarding their
children, and how states should respond to cultural diversity.
