Malavika Rajkotia

[3] The book explores the socio-economic and legal aspects of family law in India and has been called a tour de force.

[4] It has also been critically acclaimed for its focus on issues faced by judges, lawyers and client's in the area of family law by weaving a compelling story interspersed with accounts of Rajkotia's experiences as a lawyer and incorporating nuanced perspectives from law, history, psychology, literature and mythology.

[citation needed] In addition to arguing several notable family law cases, she has argued for the custody rights of mothers facing domestic violence in foreign jurisdictions with regard to the best interest of the child[9] and for the liberal interpretation of the doctrine of 'intimate and closest concern' in the context of international custody cases.

[11] Rajkotia has advocated for an understanding of family law that does not blindly revere marriage as sacred, but instead acknowledges a more contractual arrangement, as sacredness cannot obliterate the individual's right to exit the wedlock for a just cause.

Objecting to this claim, Rajkotia penned a letter addressed to the Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court, stating that such a view showed a lack of understanding of the complex dynamics of matrimonial conflict.

[citation needed] Rajkotia was a part of the Lady Shri Ram college dramatics society and was an amateur theatre actor before choosing to pursue law full time.
