Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju's name is listed to introduce the Family Courts (Amendment) Bill in Lok Sabha, as per the house's list of business for Monday.
The draft legislation has been brought to validate the family courts functioning in several states.

To overcome the legal difficulty, the government has brought this bill to help validate the appointment of judicial officers and court staff in the family courts of the two states with retrospective effect.
Over 710 family courts are functioning in 26 states.
Similarly, Union Minister Jitendra Singh's name is listed for moving the Indian Antartic Bill in Lok Sabha.
