- Description
- About the impact of the shared definitions of `rape' and of `victim' developed and applied by individuals involved with a rape case, from the victim, to the police, through the district attorney and judges. Cultural myths and stereotypes operate as extra-legal factors and act to the detriment of the victim, shaping not only her definition of the situation and her experience, but thereafter influencing both her and other's decisions about her case.

- Description
- It is the author's contention that the broader societal issue which this case underscores is that of the social control of women, in particular the social control of women raising children alone.

- Description
- This paper seeks to demonstrate the rationale for the establishment of closely defined and formulaic parental financial responsibilities relies essentially on the liberal rhetoric of the public-private divide, and that a consequence of this is that some women can be seriously disadvantaged. The authors first describe, and then provide a feminist critique of, liberal notions of the public and private in order to show that social policy justified or driven by such rhetoric may fundamentally antithetical to the interests of poorer women. The second part illustrates how current UK child support arrangements are rationalised using (but not necessarily motivated by) notions of an appropriate public-private divide, producing results which can disempower some women.

- Description
- This article concentrates upon one of the most obvious legal anomalies, namely the voidable marriage, which was considered for abolition by the Law Commission in 1970. The question is raised `whether the law of duress as a ground for nullity should apply to cases in which a young person succumbs to strong parental pressure to enter into an arranged marriage'. The author analyses the specific construction of the marginal Other within this small part of the doctrine of nullity.
