This is what I posted on my facebook last day
When asked about their personal opinion on setting up of women and children Court in Bhutan to the two judges, Cryan and Pamela who had experience of presiding over cases of family specially women and children over 20 years in UK, both strongly disagreed in favour
of such court. They reasoned that father is important as mother and child in any family and such steps could only create division in the family. They added that in such courts, father would always be seen a person with flaw while court will inevitably protect the rights of woman and children only. The purpose of court and justice should not be for division of family or breaks the family bonds instead courts and justice must bring broken family together, sort out their differences and make family bonds stronger at the end of the case unless inevitable. However, they both are in favour of Family Courts as it includes everyone in the family to reconcile and discuss their issues of difference.

I think , I tend to agree with these two renowned judges not as a man but as a member of the family. Family must exist as one irrespective of gender, age or any other status. It's the most complex mini society within the society where unwritten rules govern and regulate these social fabric.
Therefore, setting up of a family court would expedite their cases which means their bonds could be rejoined or rebuilt at the earlier stage which is a better option. Second, in the family cases, the litigants are neither criminal nor social menace in most cases, rather are due to difference in opinion and conduct which requires a lot of privacy while liberty to express their emotions. Therefore, family court would definitely have far reaching positive impacts on the families in dispute.
