Laws penalising people for having more than 2 children have lost relevance, says SC

The Supreme Court has said that laws penalising people for having more than two children have lost their relevance, as India’s fertility rate has fallen from 3 in 2003 to 1.9, below replacement level. It made the remark while setting aside the disqualification of a Maharashtra sarpanch who was removed from office after the birth of her third child.
