Hey! I’m just starting my law degree at Queen Mary University of London, after studying political science at Kamala Nehru College in Delhi.

Most of what I’ve done so far sits somewhere between law and policy. I’ve interned at Vidhi Centre for Legal Policy as a research intern and at CSEP as a development intern, and spent my final year of college on a dissertation about Muslim women’s right to divorce.

Writing

Women’s Right to Divorce Within Muslim Personal Law in India

BA (Hons) dissertation, 2026

On the two ways a Muslim woman in India can start a divorce herself, and why they are so hard to use in practice. Based on case law and interviews with ten women across ten cities.
