Dear all,
The following media reports of wikipedia being quoted a recent Indian
Supreme court case may be of interest to some of you.
Supreme court Judge Justice Markandey Katju referred to some of the common
tenets of the *Common Law
Marriage*<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common-law_marriage> -
quoting from a Wikipedia entry.
The judgement turned controversial with the only woman Additional
Solicitor-General attached to the Supreme Court, Indira Jaising, taking
exception to the use of certain words to refer to women in the Supreme Court
judgment.
