Is It Preferable To Have A Male Judge Or A Female Judge In Matrimonial Case?
- Judges are appointed by the state to appreciate evidence produced before them and pass judgments in accordance with the principals of justice, equity and good conscience.
- The judges in the matrimonial matters are sensitive towards the emotional and factual matrix of a case.
- Parties believe that female judge is biased towards the wife and a male judge is in favour of the husband, however the judges mostly remain neutral and their judgments are based on the evaluation of evidence produced before them.
- Practically it is better for a husband to have a lady judge as she does not fear criticism or allegations of passing husband centric judgment.
