What's behind this
The Supreme Court said that laws penalising having more than two children have lost relevance because the fear of overpopulation has crumbled as demographic change takes hold. It observed that India’s demographic landscape has undergone a significant transformation over the past two decades, and therefore the two‑child norm for contesting polls, which disqualifies individuals with more than two children, may no longer be relevant amid falling fertility rates.
