1. Adultery is No Longer a Crime: In 2018, the Supreme Court of India decriminalized adultery by striking down Section 497 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), though it can still be used as grounds for divorce.

2. No Right to Die: Until 2018, attempting suicide was a punishable offense under Section 309 of the IPC. However, the Mental Healthcare Act, 2017, decriminalized suicide attempts, acknowledging mental health conditions.

3. Uniform Age of Consent: In India, the legal age of consent for sexual intercourse is 18, irrespective of gender, as per the Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses (POCSO) Act.

4. Secular Personal Laws: Despite India being a secular state, different religious communities in India follow their personal laws for matters like marriage, divorce, and inheritance, such as Hindu law, Muslim law, and Christian law.

5. Freedom of Speech with Reasonable Restrictions: While the Indian Constitution grants freedom of speech and expression, it also imposes reasonable restrictions for matters such as national security, public order, and decency (Article 19(2)).

6. No Jury Trials: India abolished the jury system in 1960 after the controversial Nanavati case, where a naval officer was tried for killing his wife’s lover. Now, cases are decided by judges.

7. Live-in Relationships are Legal: The Supreme Court of India recognizes live-in relationships as valid, provided certain conditions like mutual consent and legal age are met. They also grant protection against domestic violence.

8. RTI Act (2005): The Right to Information (RTI) Act allows Indian citizens to request information from any public authority, making government actions more transparent.

9. Triple Talaq is Illegal: In 2019, India outlawed the practice of instant triple talaq (talaq-e-biddat), which allowed Muslim men to instantly divorce their wives. It was declared unconstitutional and is now punishable by law.

10. Right to Education: Under Article 21A, the Right to Education Act makes free and compulsory education a fundamental right for children between the ages of 6 and 14, ensuring access to primary education.
