The concept of Law and Morality has intrigued jurists and philosophers for a long period of time. They both are related yet very different. The aim of law and morality is to regulate the social conduct of an individual in the society. The debate is whether they go hand in hand, or one is better of the other. This paper will take a subjective look on whether there is a place of morality in law? Jeremy Bentham was the founder of utilitarianism. He is of the opinion that utility is a tool for happiness and prevention of evil. Every human action is governed and driven by pain and pleasure. He used this quantitative method of psychological hedonism in his study. The paper revolves around on the fact that human actions are stimulated by the desire to enjoy pleasure and prevent from pain. He is a positivist who believes, law is not something made by god. The following paper will also help to have an objective look on the four sources of pain and pleasure classified by Bentham i.e. Physical, Political, Moral and Religious. In the end it’s going to sum up Bentham’s theory on law and morality followed by my take on the theme, I am of the opinion that there is no real & sensible connection between law and morality therefore there shouldn’t be any place for morality in law
