    "Sometimes new laws are needed to protect the weaker sections of the society." Do you agree with this statement? Justify your answer with an example.

    Answer:

    Under our Constitution, every citizen is equal and enjoys the right to freedom and the right against exploitation. Any citizen who is deprived of his/her rights can seek justice in a court of law. In theory, these rights should have been enough to protect every one. However, in practice, the weaker sections of society are often oppressed and do not have the means to seek justice. This is why it becomes necessary to make special laws to protect these sections. The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act is an example of a special law. It has made it easier for women to protect themselves from ill-treatment by family members.
