ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the law entirely from the perspective of the purveyors of various services within the court in Delhi, and from the viewpoint of those who must avail of these services in order to marry: namely, the love-marriage couples. The touts and lawyers whose services are detailed provide some indication of how complicated and fraught the process of marriage really is. Unsurprisingly, ‘law as process’ looks very different from ‘law as statute’.
