- Description
- This case raises the question: why do women from minority cultures go to the law of the dominant culture to seek relief? The decision in N. v. N. is considered within a theoretical perspective that seeks to elucidate the difficulties involved in using law to achieve social change, particularly when such change is sought within a cultural setting that attempts to separate itself from the social institutions of the dominant culture.
