The main objectives and reasons for setting up of Family Courts are:
? To create a Specialized Court which will exclusively deal with family matters so that such a court may have the necessary expertise to deal with these cases expeditiously. Thus expertise and expedition are two main factors for establishing such a court;
? To institute a mechanism for conciliation of the disputes relating to family;
? To provide an inexpensive remedy; and
? To have flexibility and an informal atmosphere in the conduct of proceedings.
