Understanding Child Rights in Nepal: Laws and Protections Explained

Understanding Child Rights in Nepal: Laws and Protections Explained

Nepal has made significant strides in promoting child rights through strong constitutional and legal protections, including the Constitution of Nepal, 2072, and the Children’s Act, 2075. Children are guaranteed rights to survival, development, protection from abuse, education, and participation. Despite legal progress, challenges like poverty, child labor, and discrimination persist. Effective enforcement, public awareness, and collaborative efforts between the government, civil society, and communities are essential to make these rights a living reality. Aligning national laws with global standards, Nepal remains committed to creating a safer, healthier, and more inclusive environment for every child.

General Principles of Civil Law in Nepal: Foundation of Rights and Obligations

General Principles of Civil Law in Nepal: Foundation of Rights and Obligations

The general principles of civil law in Nepal provide a structured framework for fairness, accountability, and legal order in society. Key principles such as "ignorance of the law is no excuse," "acts against public interest are invalid," "liability for wrongdoing," and "good neighborliness" ensure that personal and commercial relations are governed by justice and consistency. These principles also confirm that customs contrary to law are unenforceable and that civil obligations extend equally to foreigners. Upholding these standards strengthens public confidence in the legal system and promotes a fair, harmonious social and economic environment. Alpine Law Associates provides expert guidance in civil law matters.

Principle of jurisdiction in Nepal

Principle of jurisdiction in Nepal

Jurisdiction determines which court has the authority to hear a case, ensuring legal clarity and fairness in judicial proceedings. Under Nepal’s Muluki Civil Procedure Code 2074, jurisdiction is defined by factors such as subject matter, territorial scope, and party presence. It categorizes authority across district courts for immovable property, contracts, and multiple-defendant cases. Jurisdiction ensures that legal actions are enforceable and valid, safeguarding both procedural efficiency and rule of law. At Alpine Law Associates, we help clients navigate the jurisdictional complexities to ensure their cases are filed in the correct court with rightful authority.
