DIRECTION (Qs. 81-90): Read the following passagecarefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain wordsare given in bold to help you locate them while answering someof the questions.So let us pose the question differently - who suffers in theabsence of a Uniform Civil Code? Is it Muslim women, victimsof polygamy and triple talaq, as Hindutvavadi wisdom has it?But for decades, feminist legal practice has successfully usedboth the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act,2005 - that is available to all Indian citizens regardless ofreligious identity - as well as the Muslim Women (Protectionof Rights on Divorce) Act, 1986, to deal with polygamy andtriple talaq, and to obtain maintenance, child custody and rightsto matrimonial home for countless Muslim women. In addition,feminist legal activists have used the landmark Shamim Ara v.State of U.P. (2002) ruling to buttress their claim that arbitrarytriple talaq is invalid. Moreover, polygamy is not exclusive toMuslims. Hindu men are polygamous too, except that becausepolygamy is legally banned in Hindu law, subsequent wiveshave no legal standing and no protection under the law. UnderSharia law, on the contrary, subsequent wives have rights andhusbands have obligations towards them. If gender justice isthe value we espouse, rather than monogamy per se, we wouldbe thinking about how to protect "wives" in the patriarchalinstitution of marriage. "Wives" are produced through theinstitution of compulsory heterosexual marriage, the basis of

which is the sexual division of labour. This institution issustained by the productive and reproductive labour of women,and almost all women are exclusively trained to be wives alone.Thus, when a marriage fails to fulfil its patriarchal promise ofsecurity in return for that labour, all that most women are leftwith is the capacity for unskilled labour. Or they remain trappedin marriage with children to provide for, while men marry again,legally or otherwise, producing still more dependent, exploitedwives and children for whom they take no responsibility. Ifgender justice is the point of legal reforms, the centrality andpower of the compulsory heterosexual, patriarchal marriage,and the damage it can do to women, is what must be mitigated.This would mean recognising the reality of multiple "wives" asa common practice across communities, and the protection ofthe rights of all women in such relationships.In this sense, recentSupreme Court rulings that have granted rights to second wivesin Hindumarriages dilute the legal standing of monogamy forHindus but empower women. A survey conducted by theBharatiya Muslim Mahila Andolan, a significant voice in thedebate, found that more than 90 per cent of Muslim women inIndia want a ban on "triple talaq" and polygamy in MuslimPersonal Law. That is, the demand is made within theframework of codifying Muslim Personal Law, not in favour ofa Uniform Civil Code, partly because there is no clarity onwhat a uniform code would look like, but also because thedemand comes from clearly Hindutvavadi quarters which haveshown that both women and minorities are expendable for them.81. What according to the passage founded in a survey

conducted by the Bharatiya Muslim Mahila Andolan?(a) Polygamy is not only exclusive to Muslims(b) "Wives" are produced through the institution of

compulsory heterosexual marriage, the basis of whichis the sexual division of labour

(c) Polygamy is legally banned in Hindu law(d) Both A and B(e) None of the above

83. What is the recent Supreme Court rule?(a) Under Sharia law, on the contrary, subsequent wives

have rights and husbands have obligations towardsthem

(b) Granted rights to second wives in Hindu marriagesdilute the legal standing of monogamy for Hindusbut empower women

DIRECTIONS (Qs. 91-95): Read the following passagecarefully and answer the questions given below. Certain words/phrases have been printed in bold to help you locate them.Last week, when nine well-known media houses beganpublishing directly to Facebook, allowing the social mediagiant's 1.4 billion users to read stories then and there, those inthe embattled media industry would have felt relieved anduneasy at the same time. Relieved, because of what, on the faceof it, seems to be a sweet deal for all the nine publishers thatare part of Facebook's direct publishing feature, Instant Articles.The New York Times, National Geographic, BuzzFeed, NBC,The Atlantic, The Guardian, BBC, Spiegel Online, and Bildcan sell advertisements on their own and keep all of thoserevenues. Alternatively, they can allow Facebook to sell andstill keep 70 per cent of the proceeds. For an industry that isstruggling with the aftermath of the digital disruption, this is awelcome revenue-raising opportunity. According to the PewResearch Center's State of the News Media 2015 report,revenues from print advertising fell in 2014 over the previousyear while revenues from digital advertising grew. The catch:the good showing of digital wasn't even nearly good enough to

make up for print's shortfall. In the U.S., print advertisingdollars fell by nearly a billion while digital dollars just aboutmanaged a growth of 100 million.Still, it is difficult not to feel uncomfortable about Facebook'sgrowing clout as a distributor of news. Top publishers are alreadyon board Instant Articles, and more are itching to follow suit.Their websites could increasingly become less relevant. As moreand more publishers join it, each of them individually will needFacebook more than it needs them. But avoiding a partnershipwith Facebook, as some publishers have suggested they would,isn't a wise thing to do. As the Pew Research Center's reportput it, nearly half of those surveyed said they had accessed newson politics and government on Facebook in the week before.Also, the platform attracts roughly a fourth of the displayadvertisement revenues and more than a third of mobile displayadvertisement revenues. This is in sharp contrast to theexperience of news organisations in garnering digitalrevenues.Befriending Facebook now is a no-brainer, especiallygiven that publishing houses long ago ceded control of newsdistribution to technology firms. They have only themselves toblame. What they ought to ensure now is not to become toodependent on any one platform, even as they continue to buildtheir identities both online and offline. Fortunately for thepublishers, the likes of Snapchat, Facebook's promising rivalwhich has managed to woo the youth, do seem to give the hopethat the publisher-distributor relationship wouldn't be one-sided.91. Choose an appropriate title for the passage.

(a) With Knowledge-Facebook(b) News at Express speed(c) The News From Facebook(d) Its all about Revenues(e) A late Step

92. Which of the following social networking sites ismentioned in the passage?(A) Facebook (B) Twitter(C) Snapchat(a) Only A and B (b) Only B and C(c) Only C and A (d) All A, B and C(e) None

93. Which of the following is true according to the passage?(A) The platform attracts roughly a fourth of the display

advertisement revenues and more than a third ofmobile display advertisement revenues.

(B) According to the Pew Research Center's State of theNews Media 2015 report, revenues from printadvertising rose in 2014 over the previous year

(C) Top publishers are already on board Instant Articles,and more are itching to follow suit.

(a) Only A and C (b) Only B and C(c) Only B and A (d) All A, B and C(e) None

94. What does the author suggest to the news publishing firmsand urge them to ensure?(a) He want them to make association for healthy

competition.(b) He want them to not become completely dependent

on the Facebook.(c) He want them to weigh their chances and proceed

accordingly(d) He want them to make all stuff free so that people

can learn(e) None of the above.
