The Trouble with Marriage is part of a new global feminist
jurisprudence around marriage and violence that looks to law as
strategy rather than solution. In this ethnography of lawyer-free
family courts and mediations of rape and domestic violence charges
in India, Srimati Basu depicts everyday life in legal sites of
marital trouble, reevaluating feminist theories of law, marriage,
violence, property, and the state. Basu argues that alternative
dispute resolution, originally designed to empower women in a less
adversarial legal environment, has created new subjectivities, but,
paradoxically, has also reinforced oppressive socioeconomic norms
that leave women no better off, individually or collectively.
