From the transition of joint families to nuclear families, the ideas and beliefs of family members have changed drastically; and in recent times, family disputes have escalated. With the Indian judicial system already burdened with the pressure of pending family dispute cases, there is an urgent need to resolve such matters through alternate dispute resolution methods, beyond the scope of litigation.
