PoliticsPhoto: News18Supreme Court Says Laws Penalising More Than Two Children Are Outdated
The Supreme Court observed that laws disqualifying persons with more than two children have lost relevance due to India's declining fertility rate. A bench of Justices PS Narasimha and Alok Aradhe noted that demographic changes have undermined the rationale behind such restrictions. The court referenced the 2003 Javed vs State of Haryana case, suggesting these laws need revisiting amid India's falling total fertility rate from 3 in 2003 to 1.9 currently.
