Explore the complex relationship between law, sex, and sexuality in India with ‘The Law of Desire’ by Madhavi Menon. This insightful book questions the state’s attempts to regulate desire through legislation and court judgments. Discover how laws often rely on weak, patriarchal, and casteist assumptions when defining obscenity, immorality, and gender. Menon critically examines rulings on marriage, sex work, obscenity charges, and transgender rights, revealing the contradictions and paradoxes embedded within India’s legal framework. Perfect for readers interested in queer theory, legal studies, and the evolving understanding of desire in contemporary India. ‘The Bookish Owl’ recommends this essential read for its profound analysis.
