September 2025 Legal Updates

Welcome to the September 2025 archive of Bharat Digital Academy of Law. In this month we covered four practical topics that affect everyday life – from how many hours you can legally work in India to ways you can protect your credit‑card purchases in the UK, plus two guides on getting a divorce quickly and at low cost. Below you’ll find quick takeaways for each article so you can decide what to read first.

Work Hours and Labour Rules

The piece titled Maximum Working Hours in India – Legal Limits, Overtime Rules and Key Exceptions breaks down the daily and weekly caps set by the Factories Act, the Shops & Establishments Act, and the Labour Code. It tells you that most employees cannot exceed 9 hours a day or 48 hours a week, with specific night‑shift limits and overtime pay rates spelled out. The article also lists the major exemptions – for instance, managerial staff or certain seasonal workers – so you know when the rules bend. If you’re an employer, the guide shows the paperwork you need to stay compliant; if you’re an employee, it gives you the right questions to ask your HR department.

Family Law & Consumer Rights

Indian readers looking for a speedy divorce will find the article Is Instant Divorce Possible in India? Fastest Legal Routes, Timelines, and 2025 Rules useful. While the law doesn’t allow a literal “instant” divorce, the guide points out the quickest mutual‑consent route, the reduced cooling‑off period, and the exact documents you must file. It also warns about common pitfalls such as missing paperwork that can add months to the process.

Across the ocean, the guide How to Get a Free Divorce in Virginia (2025 Step‑by‑Step Guide) walks you through the fee‑waiver eligibility, the free‑service options, and the exact forms to file with the Virginia court. The step‑by‑step format makes it easy to follow even if you’ve never dealt with the legal system before. It even lists local legal‑aid offices that can help you fill out the paperwork at no cost.

The UK‑focused article Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act: What It Covers, When It Applies, and How to Claim explains how Section 75 protects purchases between £100 and £30,000 made on a credit card. It clarifies who the liable party is (the card‑issuing bank), what kinds of goods and services fall under the protection, and the exact steps to raise a claim. An easy checklist at the end helps you avoid common mistakes that could delay reimbursement.

All four articles share a practical tone: clear headings, bullet‑ready takeaways, and real‑world examples. Whether you’re checking your rights at work, planning a divorce, or trying to get money back on a faulty purchase, these guides give you the most relevant information for September 2025.
