The Supreme Court may be flaunting its activist muscle more often now taking up wide-ranging social issues involving women’s rights and dignity, but its lone woman judge prefers to call marriage of her two daughters as her “liabilities”.



The official website of the Supreme Court in its “assets of sitting judges” column has shown Justice Gyan Sudha Misra listing “two daughters to be married” against the liability column.



Under the column, Justice Misra has also mentioned about her standing as “guarantor for education” of one of her two daughters. The other liability as shown by Justice Misra, former Chief Justice of the Chhattisgarh High Court, in the website related to “residential house to be built post retirement”.



The declaration of Justice Misra of marriage of her daughters as “liabilities” is likely to draw criticism, as this may not go in tune with the growing public perception about the Supreme Court adopting progressive views on a wide-range of social issues.



The perception of marriage of a daughter as liability—that too coming from a judge of the Supreme Court—is likely to disappoint progressive sections of the society, especially those fighting for gender equality.



None of the judges in the Supreme Court has declared marriage of daughter as a “liability”, according to sources.
