Brief Introduction
• The topic of my survey is applicability of laws on society.
• Law is set of rules decided by particular state meant for the
purpose of keeping peace and security of society
• The are four types of law in our country.these are criminal law,
administration law, constitution law and civil law.
• There are total 1248 laws in our country.
• Before we begin it is important to understand the role of social
and legal rules in the society.
Social rules play a vital role in human society and such rules
distinguish human societies from animal groups. Behaviour of
humans towards others is controlled, directly and indirectly
through moral standards, religious doctrines, social traditions
and legal rules.
• Marriage is an excellent example to show how social rules govern
human life. Earlier, religious significance was attached to monogamous
marriage (in Britain) and it was also maintained through moral rules
(declaring live-in-relationships as ‘wrong’) and by the operations of
rules of law which can define and control the formalities of the
marriage ceremony, lay down who can and who cannot marry[i], specify
the circumstances in which divorce can be obtained, define the rights to
matrimonial property upon matrimonial breakdown, and so on.
• Legal rules are significant in the world of business, with matters such as
banking, money, credit and employment all are regulated by law to
some extent. In a complex society, there is hardly any area which is
untouched by law. Even a basic activity like eating is indirectly affected
by law as the food one eats is required to meet rigorous standards of
purity, hygiene[ii] and even description.[iii] Driving, handling property
etc. is also governed by law.
• Thus, the span of law is very wide; it governs almost every activity
which happens in the society in one way or the other. Law is applicable
to an unborn person and also to a person who is dead. Hence, it can be
said that span of law is very wide in the society.
