Seth went to London along with her husband, and decided to study law because attending lectures was not mandatory. Thereforeshe could devote her time to her family. "I had always wanted to be a teacher," she says. "I had no lawyer in the family and no particular interest in law. But this was something I could do along with my marriage and baby. So I took it up."
